Even so not everyone is pure white caucasian here in europe so the skin tone tends to get a bit darker, even though it isn't much.
I have a few japanese friends and their skin is about the same color as mine... only the hair is darker, of course :P
And from my time in japan pretty much everyone i saw there was about the same skin color as people here in europe, except for those overly tanned chicks that walked around with barely no clothes at all 
(it could be that maybe i'm colorblind though ยด^_^) |
Alot of Japanese naturauly have light skin, but they are still asian so its still a diffrent skin colour then white people. Even if they were REALLY light there would still be less pink/red in there complection, they would just look pale.
(at least thats what I have noticed)
It may depend where in Japan you are, and how cold/warm it is.
I deffinatly notice Japanese celebritys looking MUCH lighter then most Japanese though.
Anyways complection is besides the point im trying to make. The people drawn in anime are clearly meant to look caucasion. If they were meant to look Japanese I think there skin would look at least a littlr darker.
