You’re right. Anime characters don’t really look too much Like any specific ethnicity most of the time. I wonder if that’s part of the appeal

It 100% is. Like one of the best aspects of non descript stylization is self insertation!

There are some animes which have very clear and distinct racial markers. Perfect blue or Akira for example.

  The more abstract moéblob stuff is the most ethnically ambiguous. Skin tone is the most explicit you get

    even then i feel like anime skin tends to be either so white you worry about their blood cell count, or the most unspecific shade of brown imaginable.

I think it’s just a byproduct of animation. The simpsons don’t necessarily look like any specific ethnicity either
