Ouch! That hurt! You might want to watch what you say though. I could care less because I know that America rocks but I do know there is a substantial amount of Americans on this site that might not like the comment you stated above.
Anywho! I just want to say that Anime Kitty and MMM's arguments are very funny and informing. (just thought I'd put that out there)
In answer to the question, I believe that the reason why the skin color of anime/manga characters is "white" is because of the "geisha mind factor." (that is totally made up since I seem to be lacking in words today) When you think about it, traditional Japanese culture encouraged the powdering of one self (same as Europeans and Americans). Why this is, I know not. I just know that many women had the white powder and all the other makeup and in the end they came out looking white. So maybe that's where it comes from. I don't know, it's just one of my crazy theories. I really have no idea. -.-'
