In most anime there are always black and white people around, sometimes in groups
sometimes all over the place.. but we hardly see people who look like an actual asian or chinese/Japanese guy.
they even have gay people in animes but no chinese or asian people lmao..

Why are they doing this ? do they dislike their own race ?​

The most asian looking guy in the series is Sasuke... I know it is somehow hard to believe, BUT in scenes with more details Sasuke has the more asian characteristics. Also how about Guys haircut?

I agree with this, Sasuke looks the most like a asian dude in the series, people like gai aswell.

I don't know myself. I guess they do that to appeal more to the western audience

Japanese have narrow eyes but they make their characters with large one's to show the world that they can see the same.Can't be helped but accept the fact that you've seen many japanese charcters thinking they were white lol

For the more western appeal they can be anything you want them to be.

Tenten, gai, lee and ramen guy are some examples of chinese anime. Sasuke is more of a japanese kind

I seriously don't understand this logic. They are manga characters, it isn't right to classify them using standards set up for human beings.:|

So just because they don't look like Uchiha, you don't think they're Asian?
