The "whitest" people i know are people from northern europe. and even those aren't totally white.
Of course there are Japanese people with a more tanned look but all in all their skin color is the same as most western and southeuropean people though :X
It's an interesting point though. But it also depends on the mangaka, most anime characters have a more western look. But not all manga/anime characters have big boobs and are really tall... when the mangaka puts that character next to a westerner, you can really tell the difference between the japanese and the westerner character  |
I do agree that some mangaka draw very Japanese looking characters, but you see less of that in anime.
When I say white I donr mean litteraly white like paper, only albino (sp?) people look like that. I mean cocasian.
When you said Japanese have the same color skin as western people, I gotta disagree. There is deffinataly I diffence between asian skin and western skin. Im not even sure how you couldnt see the diffence. Yes there are some white people who have tan enough skin to look asian, and some asian people who look light enough to look western, but there is deffinatly a diffrence. I know alot of Japanese celebrity's have light enough skin to look white, but they are either wearing a lot of make up, or they just pick really light skinned people to be celebritys.
