REMINDER: Kasumi ("Misty"), Haruka ("May"), and Hikari ("Dawn") are Japanese. Kasumi is from Tochigi Prefecture (Cerulean City is based on Utsunomiya City in Tochigi Prefecture which is in northern Kanto), Haruka is from Saga prefecture in the Kyushu region which Hoenn is based on, and Hikari is from Hokkaido. People from these areas are not white.
>But they're designed to look white
They're not, you just think they look white because of a concept known as the "default person", where looking at stylized drawings of people, like stick figures for instance, you perceive them as whatever you view the default person to be unless stereotypical details are added to make them stand out as a group you match those stereotypes with.
They're Japanese, which is also why they're the cutest Pokemon girls ever made. Cry about it.
