Many of you have been deceived into thinking so by this popular image. The problem with this image is that it portrays both an inaccurate representation of a Japanese woman, and an anime girl. The "anime" girl in the picture looks closer to a Korean or American cartoon.

Let's use an accurate example of a Japanese woman, and a anime girl, and you will see that anime girls are in fact Japanese, not white. Let's also use a white woman for comparison.

Indeed the anime girl looks closer in resemblance to the Japanese girl, rather than the white one. Anime characters have neoteny and wide faces, which is found in Japanese women way more than white women.

Anime is an art style, there’s anime characters of every race. However as you said, the hyper-neoutenous and petite characteristics in anime girls are closer to the Asian equivalent, but also in Caucasians as well, but the tend to be more dimorphic.

For example Asobi Asobase, two Japanese girls and an American girl

Also naturally people consider their race the “default” so they project it onto more abstract representations

They wish they were white lmao
That´s why the Japanese worship blonde hair, blue eyes even in anime this is very apparent.
If they didn´t love Westerners, something like Vinland Saga, or Berserk ( Griffith represents French nobility or something, judging by his character design ) would have never be made.

Ngl I don't care about this at all but how can you explain the huge eyes and different hair colours those are whitoid traits...?
Asians have big eyes too, even though the monolid can give the illusion of being smaller. And hair colors represent the character’s uniqueness more since as I said, it’s a simplistic design

That's a top percentile japanese guy. Looking at Japanese people, so many have orthodontic issues
They eat a lot of soft foods and don’t wear braces.

It’s pretty much similar in the West if you pay attention, but westerners wear braces.

I’ve met plenty of Japanese with Normal teeth, also seeing someone at that looks level isn’t uncommon just as much as anywhere else.

Don’t make assumptions about Japan or Asian Japanese, you have to really experience the people, culture, and the country to really know.
