Because that would be racist!

i don't think that would be racist if the manga was made in japan

I wonder about that sometimes

<div class="bbWrapper">I think that happens because american charachters gain popularity very fast in the whole world whereas Japanese charachters may become popular in Japan bt it takes time to mk them popular in the whole world (Just my thinking view)</div>

I think it's because the whole stile of manga drawing means that proportions, especially the eyes get kinda messed up. Just because they don't look japanese doesn't mean they're not. Just look at Dragon Ball, even though some characters look typically japanese, you don't associate them with japanese people because the eyes aren't squinted. Get what I'm saying?

maybe it's all about getting people to see it all over the world. But still people in Japan (who sees it first) must think about them watching people from another country.
