There are some, though yes very limited.

Like the older Western comics and unlike modern west comics, manga doesn’t really have a need to broaden their cast past Japan. And if they’re going to have a character who is partly defined as being foreign, why not pick the one the country knows the most about that is also, as far as basic stereotypes go, contrasting to the Japanese characters.
