Tina Fey also has a shitty track record when it comes to depicting Asian people, women in particular. Mean Girls, Sisters, 30 Rock — the underlying "joke" is that they're hyper-sexual, and looking for green cards/can't speak English.
When confronted in 2016, Fey was basically a shrug emoji. That same year, Kimmy Schmidt included an episode where Titus believes he's a geisha and comes under criticism from an Asian activist group. The acronym for that group was RAPE:
Tina Fey is allowed to create whatever "comedy" she wants. People are also allowed to feel however they want in response to it. And Tina Fey isn't good at handling that criticism.
