Depending on where it's dubbed it's because American names are different from Japanese ones. Certain names would be harder and especially if you're dubbing a kids show it'd be confusing for them depending on the complexity of the name.
Except attack on Titan, I mean yes this is sometimes the case but Erin and many others are German in AOT, I think Levi is Japanese and Mikasa is mixed(?).
What about the pink hair and yellow eyes or the white hair and red eyes ? Maybe Japanese people draw people who look cool rather than wanting them to look white
It doesn't seem racist at all, my point was that they said just because they LOOK white means they probably are, even though if they were they would usually state it, like Tamaki from Ouran, he looks white but he's actually half Japanese and it's part of his backstory. Hetalia characters are white. There's probably more I'm forgetting though. But a majority of anime characters tend to be fully Japanese but just have crazy colored hair and eyes because they're main characters and need to stand out/look cool.
Idk where I was going with this.
I'M THE HERO!
I prefer sub now.
But yeah, she's mixed.
