MYSTERY SOLVED: The ethnic background of anime characters

[It is a mystery]

Asking what race anime characters are drawn to be, is like asking what race are tv or movie characters

Anime characters are depicted as people from various groups as that is their intention.They try to have a variety of backgrounds for visual-related diversity or plot related purposes. Not everyone in anime is from Japan, some people are from western countries and have a western look on purpose.
Look at the anime monster
Tenma (protagonist) is from Japan:

Johann Liebert(antagonist) has a European background.

You can very easily distinguish both characters' backgrounds even if I didn't tell you.

90% of the time it's very obvious where the character is from and 10% of the time it's intentionally ambiguous because they aren't representing any pre-existing culture at all (large blue hair etc.) especially if its made for adults.

More examples: Light yagami (asian)

edward elric (euro)

Cowboy bebop (western about cowboys - american)

samurai champloo (samurai show - asains)

Mitchiko and Hatchin (anime set in brazil - brazillians)

Hopefully everybody finally gets it now

any questions ?

Lover of anime come get your boy

Don't forget about black people

This is a racist depiction of a blacc person and i wont cape for the artist on this (they were definitely on some fukkshyt), but anime is a medium much like how cartoons are a medium. Bugs bunny had mad racist shyt in earlier episodes but its hard to say cartoons are racist overall because of it.
