I always figured it was a huge part of it. Hell, I’m just partially Jewish and I still get shit from white nationalist for supposedly ‘taking their women’

      Not just anime, lots of movies and shows out there have reinforced the negative stereotype but yeah I'd imagine for younger people it was anime/video games.

      somewhere in the mid 90s anime companies decided to mass-market to whitesville.

      If you look at animes from the early 90s and before, they mostly had black hair, or coded Japanese looks (blue hair, dark brown hair, often tan skin etc)
