(Anonymous) 2012-01-17 01:16 am (UTC)(link)anime's style is meant to portray the characters as generally western-looking, it's not that they ARE white but looking white? i don't see why seeing them that way is a sign of "privilege" when it's not just white people who do that (case in point, me). though really, i don't think they look like ANY race, they look like aliens. but of all human races, yeah, most of them look more caucasian than any other race.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-22 09:08 am (UTC)(link)When you look at anime, most styles can be traced back to Astroboy. Astroboy imitated Western animation, particularly Betty Boop. Therefore we can really say that a lot of the anime visual style can be traced back to an American cartoon of a white woman.
The more general principle is that anime (and cartoon faces in general) are very non-specific. When a face is non-specific, we tend to project ourselves and our own culture onto it. This is why heros/heroines in animated movies tend to have very bland generic faces whereas the villains have a lot more caricature to them. If you doubt me, look at any Disney film. Even more striking is The Incredibles, where if you look at Syndrome (http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/_img/chars/char_26472.jpg) and Mr. Incredible (http://www.ipadforums.net/wallpapers/data/508/Mr_Incredible.png) making pretty much the same expression, you can still tell Mr. Incredible is the hero because his face is slightly more generic (and again, this is a very subtle case).
