I think I already explained this MANY times, but Goku and Bulma being American actually makes plenty of sense if you're intimately familiar with the source material. Bulma's race is never explicitly named and is VASTLY more Western than most of the other characters. Goku's race is defined as "alien", and he too is given more than a few Western characteristics.
It's not like Goku and Bulma were defined as Japanese in the source material and they "changed" the races just to be racist bastards. Them being American makes perfect sense for an AMERICAN adaptation of the material.

Yeah, that's the stupid thing. Chow Yun Fat does bald well, too. I can understand them going with something a little different for the facial hair, and I am also understanding of them dropping the cheesy sunglasses.
But the man does bald well. Couldn't they have made him bald and gave him a goatee or something?
