The interminable controversy over the ethnicity of anime-styled characters and the pedestal upon which many Japanese ensconce white girls is being stoked by the image above – cute anime girls, it maintains, are drawn with Caucasian bone structure.
The points the image makes:
Whites have a convex forehead, (East) Asians a concave one
The rear of a Caucasian skull is convex, the Asian concave
Caucasians have a protruding chin and concave jaw, Asians a protruding jaw and receding chin
Caucasians have lower positioned eyes, Asians higher positioned ones
Not surprisingly, this has provoked the usual debate:
“What a cruel choice of models!”
“They really were right when they said they are designed off of white people…”
“And the usual video:”
“The people who make this stuff are aggravating our white people complex, it’s creepy!”
“I’ve never seen a skull like the one on the right in an anatomy book or an art how-to.”
“Yui-chan is so cute…”
