Yeah, "manga/anime characters look white (because of Japanese self-hate)" is one of my biggest pet peeves.

A few years back there was this fairly popular Japanese band called 19 and one of the guys looks exactly like Bruce's (white) cousin to the point where we both noticed it immediately the first time we ever saw a video of them. The guy still looks visibly Japanese. You wouldn't even say he looks half. But he still looks just like Bruce's cousin.
