Speaking English is not the actual issue here. It is more of how foreigners are portrayed in modern animes and mangas.

Japan is one of the most technologically, economically, culturally and more importantly communication advance nations in the world today. And clearly the people at Type-Moon, are clearly not idiots. So I'm pretty sure their not ignorant to how other cultures look and behave. How else do you think that their works and material are so good.

The real issue is how to portray them in Mangas and Animes. As we all know people in Mangas and Animes all tend to resemble one another even if they of different races or cultures. If could design them in more detail to the point we could really distinguish and maybe have a wider choice of cultural ranges then maybe that can solve the problem.

But unfortunately this is all the writer's choice. We fans can only hope that they can make such changes.

And while I don't think this is relevant, I kind of see why that Shawn Warrynn fellow was complaining about Type-moon being what he calls practicing "Neo-Axisnism" in Animes and Mangas. While I still struggling to fully understand what it means, I noticed that what he said about the part about how Type-Moon seems to have a high focus on Characters from former Axis Powers align nations in their works. For example, Germany, Finland, Romania, Italy. Now having such characters is one thing but putting focus on them is completely another thing.

But however, as other commenters have point out, there a very few of these characters and there is a fair equaling number of characters from former Allied aligned nations, being put in the spot light. So I thing this does prove that Type-moon is not being bias.

Which Brings me to the conclusion that, we should write to Type-Moon and explain to them these factors that are concerning to fans.
