That makes no sense to me.
Yeah, there are lots of Japanese comedians/tarento who also act crazy/dumb/odd, dressing in doinky-looking costumes and making doinky jokes. I think a lot of foreign tarento simply do the same things as their Japanese counterparts. Of course, if the point of the tarento's act is to try to make himself/herself look like a bigger doink than the Japanese ones, then that can be considered problematic.
