Actually I wouldn't have difficulty doing this at all.are you implying that Naruto has asian features based on this one off photo of a Japanese female with large almond shaped eyes, you'd be VERY hard pressed to find real world examples of Japanese people with eyes like hers.
compare this baby's eye shape against naruto's.
I guess this is a little nipponsei baby right?
I think I explained that this is considered beautiful
by many people in Japan and it has little do with wanting to be
foreign, or wanting to become a white person.

Another blog post from a guy actually in Japan.
Another opinion piece from someone who is actually, ya' know asian
http://clossette.com/double-eyelids-why-do-we-continue-to-make-them-a-standard-of-asian-beauty/
They have their own standards of beauty which aren't
to be confused with wanting to be "white people".
That said THEY CAN AND DO admire certain features of people
who are not Japanese, just as people from America can love the look
of someone who is Asian or Indian or Hispanic or Black, while still maintaining
their own cultural identity.
You're looking at this from an American perspective, it's not the same
as buying fake hair or buying skin bleaching products to look more "white",
they're aspiring to an Asian ideal and their art reflects that.

They can deny it all they want but what they consider beautiful is still the opposite of the japanese norm and it still more closely related to the European look.
Their cultural identity is lost when it doesn't reflect their district eyes faithfully.

So you have MORE knowledge of what Japanese people find
beautiful than actual Japanese people. Gotcha !
I'll make sure to use this logic when I'm arguing with
a white supremacist about Blacks and what we idolize
when they use Hip Hop as a mental barometer for the Black collective

I'm saying though. Every defense they post is just further self-ether.

It doesn't take much to see that the style they think of as cute is not the japanese norm.
They focus more on the widening of the eyes to increase the cuteness yet that is the opposite of the defining characteristic about Asians.

The more "cuter" to them the more non japanese they look in the eyes. It ain't rocket science.
