I've watched quite a lot of anime and read my share of manga and I never got the impression that the characters were Caucasian. If anything I'd say the majority of them are race neutral. Of course, I don't pay much attention to race in media as much as other people seem to.
I find it kind of offensive how much effort people put into pointing out racial issues in places that are completely irrelevant. So what if all the characters in their games appear to be Caucasian? Do you only play games that have an African American in them? Is the game not as enthralling because the lead character isn't Spanish? I don't know about other countries, but in the US, too much time and energy is wasted on pointing out people's race. People should stop letting their personal prejudices get in the way of having fun in a game. [/soapbox]
