I’m tired most of people saying this is okay since to them “Most characters in Japanese manga don’t look Japanese.” Which is stupid because the Japanese see anime characters as being Japanese. It is Americans who think they are white. Because to them white is the Default Human Being.

You probably never will, ignorance is a bliss.
