The sentences about \
to:
The sentences about \\\"zannen hafu\\\" should definitely be removed, it doesn\\\'t really have to do with the trope and has no basis in reality. It seems more like something a bad faith actor would come up with to promote their narrative.
I agree that the viewpoint of people who think that a character with blonde hair and blue eyes is white (such as Naruto) should be mentioned in this article. But the way the paragraph is currently worded, there\\\'s no mention of specifically blonde haired/blue eyed characters, and given that the article up to this point was just about \\\"Japanese fictional characters\\\" it\\\'s easy to assume that the paragraph is talking about anime characters in general.
The way the first two sentences of the paragraph is worded seems like it\\\'s presupposing that all anime characters DO look like white people, then attempts to explain why that is the case. But the last sentence explains why some people might have that misperception, which seems inconsistent with the first two sentences because it\\\'s contradicting the original presupposition. My original edit added qualifiers that would clarify that this is simply an idea that some people have, not necessarily reflective of reality. This would make the first two sentences consistent in overall message and tone with the concluding sentence (which is the point of the paragraph).
The sentence I originally added to the end of the paragraph doesn\\\'t necessarily need to be there, but there should still be some edit to add qualifiers to the first two sentences. I have seen others on this discussion page and elsewhere on the Internet misinterpret the meaning of this paragraph, and it would be a simple change to add a qualifiers to clarify the overall tone and intent.
