Why do anime characters look white?

They very often have white coloring (sometimes SJW coloring too) and caucasoid features if drawn realistically. Are the Japanese blackpilled?
 
Perceived beauty in Asian countries is that of fair skin. They don't appreciate brown or black skin.
 
A lot of anime characters are modeled after Germans. Just check out Fullmetal Alchemist. They depict themselves as ugly, for some reason.

Why is that? From what I've seen of the anime, the characters aren't attractive. You'd think it would be the opposite like every other anime.

That's true, I'm aware of working in the sun etc. is low class, but the facial features tend to be caucasoid and there's often blond and brown hair, as well as light eyes.

Attack on Titan as well

Because they need something to make characters stand out from one another with such simplistic facial designs.

And everyone with black hair and brown eyes would be visually boring to viewers.

Anime features aren't caucasian, if you look at Jpop singers they tend to have big eyes, silky smooth hair, fair skin and light hair. The reason why anime characters have light hair or eyes sometimes is to differentiate the characters as well as lighter hair colors being easier to draw/animate.

Ahh...I forgot the animation part as well.

How are lighter colors easier to animate

In Brotherhood, they introduce characters from a place called Chin which is like the author's commentary on both China and Japan (mostly china, but there's jap elements). And without giving away too much, the fictional country Emestrus, where the story is set, is a stand in for early 20th century Germany.

I've rarely seen them depict themselves with respect with like Mio or Azusa.

Ling Yao, a Chin-ese (get it?) prince

Roy Mustang is a rare flattering depiction of a Japanese male

Mio Akiyama is a less-than accurate but typical Japanese female depiction

So you can make the outlines of the hair stand out, maybe? I don't know much about animation so I might be wrong.

What the race of Yui and Ritsu since they have brown hair. Are they just Japanese, but not Japanese looks wise?

They're supposed to be ethnic Japanese, but they play fast and loose with the features, as usual. Mugi is implied to be like half-Finnish or something. I think /a/ could answer this better but they're total faggots as of late.

Oh....I thought you meant "loose" as in the verb to loose. I understand now.
 
Because even Japs know nobody fucking finds Asians attractive.

They really should send the memo to r/Hapas and r/AsianMascunlity already. Its not "muh racism" that makes literally all females of all races avoid Asian males when possible.

Do you mean "lose?" I'm not going grammar nazi, but I see "loose" as a stand-in for "lose" a lot lately. I thought it might be a meme.

idk about males, but I've always found the women attractive. Even if it's the result of surgery or makeup.

Oh shit, my bad. I don't know why I made that mistake.

It's been going around. My guess is they'll change the spelling.

Hasn't this happened with other words, too? Some words have two different spellings now. I can't think of which ones on the top my head.
 
It's just the coloring.  Even then, you can't really say they have coloring like a white person because white people don't have green/blue/purple hair nor do they have golden/violet/red irises.

In terms of facial features, Japanese people more closely resemble anime characters than whites do.  Anime characters almost always have no brow ridge and have short broad faces.  Sounds more asian than white to me. Also anime characters have small noses, and it's very well known asians have smaller noses than whites.

I guess they want a variety of different looking characters.Since Asian people don't have that many obvious differences. Idk some of them look caucasian and some of them are clearly asian
