It's weird because they're usually set in Japan, and yet I see plenty of blondes and a distinct lack of epicanthic folds.

The style was inspired by Disney

>making hair multi-colored was a good way to differentiate characters
>green being a shorthand for blonde and brunette
>blue being shorthand for black hair

Whites are objectively the most attractive race on the planet.
Think I'm making that up?
Consider the following: whites are the ONLY race that was enslaved simply because they looked attractive.
Say what you will about the African slave trade, but it wasn't done for how they look.
The name Anglo (as in Anglo-saxon) is because phonecians thought they looked like Angels.

They're more interesting to draw when everyone around you looks the same.
