Because Americans don't see Japanese characters as Japanese unless they're Asian caricatures. They see them as white. Anime set in Tokyo full of characters with Japanese names: "But why do they look like they're white?" or, if they're watching an English dub, even "I forgot they were Japanese" (yes, really).

Yeah, but "audiences might have a racist reaction to this choice" =/= "the choice itself is racist".

...okay? that's the audience being racist. what the heck are you even trying to say here.

That Disney knows its audience, and I would be more willing to bet that keeping the characters all uniformly "Japanese" would have been acceptable only because they knew the audience would think the characters looked white.

i don't agree with that at all but okay.
