They are cartoons. Cartoons don’t have realistic features. Typically they exaggerate certain features for emotional expression, archeotypical character representation, or for colorful pop. They often don’t resemble stereotypical Asian features or behavior at all. Often Japanese people mimic Western culture and mix certain cultural behavior with what are obviously predominately European features like blue/green eyes or blonde hair. A lot of Anime characters were specifically designed to look and act very American, because of Americas influence on Japan. So get over it...
For multiple reasons
1# White skin isn't a race it's a skin colour and several races have white or light coloured skin aside from Americans or Europeans namely Chinese, Japanese and Spaniards.
2# Most people think anime characters look white because in certain Asian countries namely China and Japan the latter of which is the anime capital. Light coloured skin/white skin is considered a beauty trait the lighter you are the better looking you are and is highly sought out and there are in general a lot of light skinned people in those countries some even whiter then white people like snow white so yes you could classify Asians with white skin as white.
And I personally think the character looks like whatever they are supposed to look like sometimes it's black sometimes it's white, sometimes it's Asian and other times just lighter or darker skin tones for a certain race.
I think debating a fictional characters race is ridiculous. If it’s not canon than it shouldn’t matter, anyone can cosplay and have their interpretations of a fictional character at the end of the day.
The entire point of cosplay is to dress up as a character so the characters race has little to nothing to do with cosplay.
Sorry to disappoint you but the vast majority of white people couldn't care less about anime or cosplay so just go and enjoy yourself without all the nonsense

Seems like a pretty white girl to me, I've seen girls that would have similar faces in real life. Pretty face, thin lips, pointy nose, big eyes etc.
Here's another example:
In my opinion most Asian people look ridiculous when they try cosplaying anime characters. The Asian men that try to cosplay look nothing like male anime characters. White people cosplaying white characters (If they actually look like them) look much better and natural.
Some anime movie designs the characters/people to actually look Asian, with slanted eyes and straight dark hair. Example the anime movie Perfect Blue.
A lot of animes, the characters have big eyes and have blonde hair with green, amber, and blue eyes. Japanese people do not have amber, hazel, green eyes or blue eyes, unless they come from families with mixed European ancestries, it's not common in Asian countries, but it is in European countries. Anime characters mostly all have pointy sloped European looking noses.
''I literally posted so many cosplays but still? Best cosplayer literally are Asian girls. What about nose Asian have smaller nose like anime character?'' LOL ok, white girls are obviously better at cosplaying anime characters that look white than Asians who obviously don't look white. The only thing you can say is Japanese is the pointy straight hair at times.
the majority of people do not watch it, so the why do is pointless.
it has a minority following, it’s going to be a very very small bit of a very small bit. I would hazard a guess limited to some trolls with multiple accounts on Reddit or similar.
I think there are far more important points to pick up on from Anime than skin colour.
Probably because:
1. Being "white" refers to skin color, not a race, so in the sense most people refer to, most japanese are white (though if you want to be technical, only albino and lucism skin is literally white, and most Asians and europeans are a very light colored beige).
2. Even if you for whatever reason ignore point 1, and stick to white = european, naruto and all might look european, as do many other anime characters.
Because most of the time, they do, and they were done that way. Because once western world really entered Japan, Japanese considered that as a beauty standard. Big eyes, white skin, etc, even in characters who were set in Japan. Even today, most manga characters are made to look white/european.
Well, another practical reason, especially for the eyes, is that big eyes help showing emotion more easily.
Well many animators (especially for video games) admitted that they purposely made their originally Japanese characters look White. I know the man that created Street Fighter said that in an interview, as did multiple RPG makers.
They do absolutely look white in most cases.
Japan has a colourist issue where they like fairer skin colour that's why there's such a huge market for skin lightning creams in Japan and Asia as a whole. It pretty much comes from dark is bad, white is good.
When someone gets into a character they want to connect closer to them by having as many similarities as they can.
The size of eyes.
What color are Asian trolls?
Do Asian trolls also hangout under bridges?
What a pointless waste of time.
Mebbe because they don't draw the eyes to be as narrow as Japanese people have. Therefore they look more western. But, you already knew that because you are just trolling everyone with stupid questions
u I dont think most do yes some will but thats because they are idiots
Anime characters look the exact skin tone which the author intends.
Because they generally have big, expressive eyeballs
I never thought that.
Umm, because they are?
Who cares? Cosplay what you want.
I don't know, why are you retarded?
Why do you even care?
A lot of anime characters are pretty white.
I think that your thinking is erroneous.
