This might be a dumb question, but what race are anime characters supposed to be? Are they supposed to be an ambiguously post-racial mashup of European and Japanese?

Japanese. You’re not the first to ask. The fact that it is asked is, IMHO, as much a function of the enculturated way Westerners interpret racial signifiers as any idiosyncrasies of the anime style.

I’m not a westerner but I get the idea. Anime hadn’t yet caught on in india when I was growing up there, so it’s always been alien to me.
