Being in Japan doesn't mean the character can't be white. They could be white raised in Japan. I don't think there's need for as much anger as people express.
I'm not saying that the character is really white I'm just saying it's really not so far fetched or impossible or really very insulting to associate a character with those features with being white, even in a multi-colored hair/eye cast. It's really nothing to be offended about, it's a natural association to make. But there's quite a bit of butthurt on both sides of this argument whenever I see it.
