Context kinda matters though. This pic only shows those two characters and anime can have all kinds of color combinations so those + the other features mentioned by anon above didn't automatically tell me "she's a foreigner!"

The woman doesn't look like she has thicker lips, she looks like she's wearing lipstick... which is IME a common way to show someone's an adult woman. Combined with her outfit it just made me think she was an office woman of some sorts. I chalked her eyes up as another way to show she's an adult. The girl's slightly darker skin did give me slight pause, but it's not that uncommon for characters to have slightly different skin tones - if anything I'd assume the girl was marked as "different".

I think this would've worked better for your example:

It shows most of the characters, so the differences between them and the American are much more obvious (though I'll point out that the American thing about this woman's lips isn't that they're thicker but that she's wearing lipstick).
