Some Japs could pass off as white if they didn't have slanted eyes.

Not true. The ones from the northern isles especially.

I think it's because since 90% of everything done by the Japanese is inspired by western legends and mythos they got used to drawing the same generic white guy faces and plaster them all over the place.
Joseph Sullivan
Probably an Ainu.
Hudson Johnson
they aren't meant to be white though, they're supposed to be ambiguous cartoon characters

Nips are white asians. They just have small eyes.

Most anime style people are based on european beauty standards. They use large open eyes, round faces, pointy chins. When they actually uses noses they are pointy. They avoid using black hair a lot of the time even though 99% of japanese people have that.
I would say most japanese video games don't fall into this trope though. (Like Nioh for example has good Japanese looking characters) Just games that are modeled on 2d anime.

>People in this thread with no fucking inkling of how the psychology of this style of character design works
They're specifically designed to look white to westerners and eastern to Japanese people. Take FF for an example, As far back as Squall they've used this technique, Japanese people see him as looking fully Japanese, westerners see him as a white guy, because he has strong features of both but wrapped up in an artstyle that lets the viewer fill in the rest with their cultural norm.
The only FF they specifically went for a more obviously eastern look was X, and then they changed the models in the remake to de-chinaman the cast and make them ambiguous.
Honestly I didn't think they'd be able to get away with it with the jump in graphical fidelity, but they're really fucking good at it, I think this is the first time they did it and they spent a hell of a lot of time and money making her appeal to both western and japanese audiences while keeping her "photorealistic".

They're not based on european standards as much as their ancestor is old Disney. Osamu Tezuka's old shit straight up looks like old Popeye and Steamboat Willy at points.
The rest of their industry took that point and incestually copied each other until it became its own thing.
They choose wild colors and big eyes for animation purposes, not because they curse the squintyness of their eyes.
