That was my initial reaction, which is why I found this blog post so interesting: that's not what white people look like. It's not what Asian people look like, either. It's just a person with eyes and a mouth and we see them as white because that's what we're used to.

I'm not very knowledgeable about the traditions of manga, however, and I don't want to accidentally dismiss something legitimate as ethnocentrism. Do you perhaps have some material to illustrate the whiteness of manga and animé characters?

Ah, yes. Now I feel tempted to update my original post to discuss this further, but maybe another time, eh

What I meant was of course "It made me reconsider the idea that everything is intended to be seen as I see it."
