The thing is while it depends on the character, the vast majority of the time Japanese artists aren\\\'t appropriating features from white people. Most anime character\\\'s facial features don\\\'t resemble Caucasian features, and the eye/hair color is taken from the entire spectrum of possible colors. This paragraph implies that most or all anime characters are \\\"appropriating white features\\\", but I know from experience that if you were to actually go to Japan and ask people why anime characters are made to look Caucasian they would probably give you a funny look and have no idea what you\\\'re talking about. That\\\'s purely a misconception that some people have, which stems from the self-image that *some* white people have about themselves and/or racist stereotypes they have about the features of Japanese people.

While definitely very far from a majority opinion, there are some people out there who insist that all anime characters are meant to look \\\"white\\\", regardless of if the character has blonde hair (which 98% of anime characters don\\\'t have in any case). This paragraph seems to be addressing those people based on the concluding sentence, but the intention could definitely be clearer. In fact, if you were to delete the last sentence it would seem like the paragraph IS intentionally trying to make that point, which is almost as ridiculous as it is racist.

The paragraph just seems poorly written with or without the changes. It makes the assertion that \\\"zannen hafu\\\" is a common phrase in Japan, which is a very provocative assertion even if there was a half-way credible source, but there straight up isn\\\'t a source for it. As someone that speaks Japanese and has lived in Japan for several years, I have never heard or read any source that mentioned that phrase before. I don\\\'t see any results on Google when searching for that phrase in English, and the only result in Japanese is a half Japanese/Czech (i.e. white) person describing themselves as a zannen haafu, which is a direct contradiction to the usage of this phrase in this article. It seems like whoever wrote that phrase made it up to support a certain narrative. As others have pointed out on this discussion page, the article overall seems to be making some problematic assumptions about the way that Japanese people think or how certain races \\\"look\\\" like. That may not be the intention of the article, but people on this discussion page and elsewhere have pointed out how it can be interpreted this way.

At the very least, this paragraph needs a change to make its tone less problematic/borderline racist, which would be consistent with the overall point that the concluding sentence is getting at.
