I always wondered, each time I saw threads about young people stating their wish to learn how to draw manga/anime and head over to Japan to have it as their job, how this was accepted by the Japanese? Do such persons ever get a job? What kind? Are there in some per example anime creation teams some non-japanese? If there are, do they come from specific countries (Korea, USA, etc)? Are they published? Do Japanese refrain from buying them? Some of you might say that "if it's not made by japanese, it's not anime", but don't forget that the term "anime" is a japanese term for all animations.

Anyone?
