A Japanese otaku took the time to publish (and modify) a table he made comparing how, OVERALL, manga and comics draw foreign characters.

Manga is a comic of Japanese origin, for the Japanese, the characters seen in the manga are either Japanese or without a specific race, but when they want to draw a clearly Western character, they put certain characteristics.

American comics also draw Asian characters in a peculiar way, always putting some characteristic to identify that character as Asian.

“I’ve seen it a billion times”

Finally, after receiving several comments, the author updated his table to show how Japanese people draw Japanese in manga:
