Sadly, if you're not Japanese in Japan -- then you can't make anime because so many people are stuck on the idea that "anime has to be made in Japan". That's based on some "Japanese only" definition; that is really an archaic definition in today's age. At the very least, you'll be relegated to making a cartoon (not by my decree). If your work ever gets out there, no one else will call it anime.
Just look at the attempts at "web manga". Non-Japanese who produced manga looking stuff and displayed their work in the web. Well, they're deemed as "web comics". I haven't read much of any of this stuff though; so, if anyone knows anything that best resembles "web manga made by a 'white' person", lemme know. And I haven't looked at Megatokyo in a long long time.
Regardless,
if you really want to make some kind of indie anime, go for it.

Animation takes a lot of work. It's a complex process. Even with computer aided tools.
