You should really try to use "pale" instead of "white" in cases like this. Because if it's Japanese merch and fanworks, it's pretty iffy and US-centric to insinuate they are trying to depict characters as white instead of pale Asian. Which has its own racist implications but Japanese characters in manga are not meant to be white.

Yeah, unless I missed something, I always thought Setsuna was Japanese like the rest of them? And Japanese people can have different skin tones just like white people can. That doesn't make them not-Japanese.

There may be some underlying racist issue where darker skin in Japanese anime characters may hint towards Ainu heritage, which is a people indigineous to Japan and who get a lot of racist shit. Even more rarely it may hint towards mixed race heritage. But darker skinned Japanese anime character may just as well be just.. darker skinned characters. It's not necessarily a race issue (can also be a class issue) and very much not a "they supposed to be white" issue.

Also Okinawan for dark skin, and you're very right that it can be a class issue.
