Re: "Mentally whitewashing" anime?

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on the setting! If it's all set in Japan, I'm going to assume they're all Japanese unless otherwise told. Just like if it's all set in the US (a la Tiger & Bunny) I'm going to assume they're white unless we're given indicators otherwise/we're told their racial make up.

If it's all set in some fantasy land then it really depends on how that fantasy land is set up.

(But, okay, when I was really little I watched the original Sailor Moon English dub and I thought they were white. Oops? Tiny child mistake?)

Same. Series set in Western-y settings, like FMA and such, I do think they're some form of non-Japanese.
SNK we know is actually mostly populated by non-Asian people (which... is kinda bullshit but whatever).
When I was little I don't remember that I really thought about what the characters were. I never identified too strongly, because it was obvious they weren't from my country anyway.

With Sailor Moon and other shows from that time, it might not even have been your fault - a lot of shows set in Japan were localised in the dub to reflect the country they were aired in -so you had name changes, location changes and in some of the dubs in my country, they even changed the names of certain iconic foods to be less Japanese because they assume children would't understand the concept of riceballs or something.
