I think people seem to forget that "Caucasian" dos not mean "white"; "white" is a slang term. A Caucasian person is a person who has Caucasian FEATURES.

Aka: Europeans (Germans, Brits, Polish, etc.) are Caucasian. But so are Indians (India), Middle-Eastern people, etc. You do not judge on skin color, but on facial features.

Not all Europeans have light hair or light eyes; in fact, more than half have dark hair and dark eyes. Not all Middle-Eastern or Indian people have brown skin or dark hair and eyes. They range from dark, to brown to very fair, with different colored hair and different colored eyes.

But hey - I'm just saying this if you want to get technical. At the end of the day, we're all human beings.

....Okay your post is totally confusing, so I'm going to answer most of your post as I can. You are totally rude, Naruto is set in alternate world and this culture alludes to Japanese culture. Look at Avatar, has ton of Asian culture in it, and then you say because...Aang is maybe white and bald he is white. No, he is Asian. But race doesn't really exist in anime in general. Just because you have blond hair, and blue eyes doesn't mean your white. You can be French, you can Russian, you can even be from China but have more white features.

How is calling Naruto not white, subconsciously racist? Calling him Asian is common sense. He's asian. It's more of Japanese thing, they love foreigners. They model most of their characters after America...not be offensive or anything, but they kind of admire/ love Americans, Europeans, as white looks and blue eyes tend to be favored in Japan in anime, and tends to go back...like foot binding. Did some research on that, it was quoted from an old journal that it was favored to have small feet like Europenas apparently and fair skin.

If you want to be well...not actually reading the series and just throwing out races ( not even truly knowing what culture it came from..) then Naruto would be classified white if you hadn't read the series, didn't know where it came from, or haven't really watched or seen some of anime. Like Honey and Clover, half the girls are blond and have white skin but they are Asian.

But in truth, Naruto isn't anything. He is a Kohonaian or Leaf citizen and is truly not any race.

Okay, wrong thing to say. They do, but they don't really outright say it. I have studied Japan and got somewhat of an idea and the racism in there and I wanted to work over there until I knew I probably wouldn't be welcomed. I'm talking in terms of anime not real life. But even in anime Japanese they seem to allude to it...but yeah I'm still studying Japan but I've covered most of their history and moving near modern times. Though in anime, skin color doesn't actually seem to be talked about unless contributing to the plot...

everyone has good answers and view points

''of african decent''.....really? People are not as offended of being called black as people think.

they gave a huge blackguy a whiteguys voice*facepalm*

anyway, tengoutenge and SAO had main blackguy.

Anime Characters are not white not Asian! Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lInGm_Fdz_0

I actually once started a list of characters with apparently "darker skin" (not necessarily meant to be African, because sometimes it's hard to tell) because some people had been asking around for darker skinned characters to cosplay.

You can add Simon** , the russian sushi slinger from Durarara to that list. And theres also the bartender/weapon dealer from SAO. cant remember his name
