Yeah, sometimes the "anime is racist" trope goes so far that it becomes inadvertently a bit racist.

I once had a conversation with someone who insisted that anime characters are white because they have big eyes and pale skin. I pointed out the implication that Asian people can't have big eyes or pale skin and he all but got out his proverbial calipers.

Also, if the character with yellow hair and green eyes has to be white, then what the fuck is the explanation for the character with neon green hair and red eyes?
