Why do 99% of videogames pander to white (especially American) audiences?

Look at Ruy for exmple. He is a Japanese dude, the story says. But why the hell doesn't he have Japanese eyes then? If only he would have that, he would have looked a lot more Japanese, but even Ryu looks more South European or Persian than Japanese now, at least most versions of Ryu do. But for example in the SF II V anime he looks a lot more Japanese though. Also in anime's you often have that hybrid Japanese/European look.

What the Japanese also have are those boy/girl characters, like Kuja from FFIX, where you almost can't make up whether that guy is a guy or a girl. But there is also a reason for that I think, cause the more pretty a guy and a girl get in regard of our standards for beauty, the more they look like each other. Pretty people seem to look like each other, up to a certain extend of course, regardless of whether they are men or women. And of course the Japanese artists take that to the absurd. lol

Japanese culture is beyond my comprehension at this point but one thing I can say is that their artists sure love to draw white people. Its surprising though because most of the arguements of having whites as the standard of beaty arise from european conquests of other nations and imposition of their culture on them.

However, Japan has never been ruled by anyone else but themselves yet they seem to have fallen prey to the same effect to a higher degree if I may add. Its seems that even westerners are more open to making games with real Asian-looking characters than the Japanese themselves because I just remembered Heavenly Sword lol. Also, the game: Mirror's Edge has an Asian female as the lead. She's pure Asian (probably Japanese) not the hybrid they create.
