2. Are these non-Japanese characters only afforded gimmicks that are racial stereotypes, and are they seemingly held back from achieving their potential because of their race? If the answer to both of those is yes, then we can talk.

I think the bottom line is that human beings are naturally drawn to people like them and that they can relate to on various levels starting with the one people first recognize when meeting a person. It doesn't make it right, it doesn't make it wrong, it simply makes it human nature and just the way it is.

The fact for the past two years now the Bullet Club have been so heavily featured is something to commend them for, not use to absolve WWE of their failure to book anyone that isn't a white America prominently.

Let's not forget the WWE is based in America. Also, the Bullet Club are portrayed as heels as we've already covered.
