Yeah the caption tells us he's British but the actual picture itself doesn't show that at all

Well the American and British Stereotype is Blonde hair and Blue Eyes. I can see the hair but not the eyes.

Oh found it bigger... [1][2] still cant see the blue eyes. (Bah I hate how guys always have smaller eyes than girls.... gimmie something like this damnit.)

I prefer the first one from post 6.

Bump. I'm still liking the first from post 6 and the image I proposed [up] there

[up][up][up] That one seems to show the opposite of this trope. It seems to be showing that blue eyed blonds can be any nationality so it doesn't matter what country someone comes from they all look the sameish.

How about this random foreigner from Shinyraku! Ika Musume! ?

He stands out among the Japanese native main cast thanks to such distinct facial features.

[up] Doesn't actually state that he is a westerner there or even imply it really.

Still my fav is [1] (we could just chop out the people on the right and go with the left three make the Blue Eyes clearer.)

[up][up] It's ok, but it it doesn't show the other two as not American. Something from Hetalia might work well.

"Doesn't actually state that he is a westerner there or even imply it really."

Which is pretty hard to do without having them blatantly wearing a flag on their clothes. So I guess Bandit Keith or that Love Hina girl are what you're after.

Well I wonder if we can use a invokage of the trope where they flat out say it.

Something like this from Hen not saying to use this though as it only does the blue eyes, it doesn't show her orangeish blonde hair. (which oddly doesnt come up... but since she is a model its probably assumed she dyes.) And its all in the text.

Or this from Azumanga Daioh.

How about Totally Spies. The main characters are a brown-eyed hark-haired, a blue-eyed blonde and green-eyed redhead. Look at the main image.

Yeah Totally Spies isn't an example. It's not even anime.

I think the pic from p17 works pretty well. It is really difficult to get a pic for this trope in motion to work without a group of at least three or four people and an "American" somewhere in the picture.

My only other idea is some form of group shot from Lucky Star (shouldn't be too hard) with Patricia somewhere conspicuous enough to matter.
