While Italic type is a European thing, it is a very useful thing that does have some parallels in other scripts (Consider Rashi script for Hebrew, or how Japanese uses Katakana in a similar way). No need to get all 'anti-woke' about it: if it were the case that people had a problem with 'Italic type', the phrase 'oblique type' is right there for use.
