＞I can't speak for the popularity of Mortal Kombat, as I know very little of the fighting games scene. So I will stick to answering your other questions.
＞American media aren't often made into animes for a variety of reasons. The biggest of which is indeed probably the fact that the source material is often unknown or unpopular. That being said, many American TV shows are often more known than one might expect. Prison Break and 24 were massively popular. South Park is gaining prominence. And many people look back fondly with nostalgia at Full House. For these kinds of shows though, there really isn't any "need" to make them into anime. Animes are often adapted from manga or light novels, both of which are "still" mediums, and rely in part on the reader's imagination for depicting scenes. TV shows on the other hand don't need to be animated, as they already fully depict the scenes.
＞Bethesda's games are indeed quite popular. As are games like Minecraft, Terraria, etc. There are also many Japanese gamers using Steam.
I will just answer to your question coz I don't know how popular Mortal Combat is; I don't know so much about what's going on in the fighting action games.
One thing I'm sure is that they hardly make amine from those [media? NOT SURE AMBIGUOUS -5point] in the United States for various reasons.
The biggest reason I assume is the lack of popularily of the contents.
Compared with that, TV shows are much well known to the public more than you expect. Prison Break and 24 are the good examples of which are very popular. South Park is getting more famous.
And, Full House has many fans who enjoy the time back in the year it was released.
I don' t see any reasons why they need to make anime out of these programs.
I think animes are made out of contents which often need readers to fill and strengthen the worlds with their imaginations.
Since characters and scenes aren't static in TV programs, these kinds don't need people's hands to get animated.
Games by Bethesda are popular here, as much as Minecraft, Terraria, and etc. Many of the Japanese gamers are using Steam.

＞Honestly, Arc-V is probably my favorite anime so far. The duels are well written, the characters use interesting decks, there's tons of references to previous animes, there's plenty of humor, and Yugioh's unique absurdness is still there.
もう、いきなりだけど、文章表現のパターンが少なすぎ｡で、フレーズで使ってるから
>there's tons of references
there is tons of references
>Just a few days ago a friend asked me to translate something for her. Part of it involved a very graphic rape scene from the perspective of the victim. Still trying to scrub that out of my brain.
>And most people who celebrate Christmas aren't actually Christian. Nevertheless, it is a holiday with a religious origin and thus protected under the law.
>Very few Chinese people will identify themselves as Confuscian in religion, as religion in China doesn't really work in the same way it does in the West, but the vast majority celebrate Chinese New Year, which is a Confucian holiday.
How do you or other minorities in China view the Uyghur or Tebetan people?
I cannot speak for others, nor do I speak as a representative of all minorities in China, but personally I wish that they would accept becoming a minority within the Chinese nation. I hold the same view towards Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, I also understand why they want to be independent, I simply don't support it.
are you and other Russian Chinese people perfectly bilingual
This varies greatly, generally by how far removed from Russia one is. Mother, for example, speaks fluent, though outdated Russian, which she picked up from her parents while growing up. I, on the other hand, cannot speak a word of Russian, as mother never spoke Russian at home.
Did the community treat your family differently?
To an extant. The first interaction we have with new people is usually to dispel the idea that we are tourists from America. Once we explain that we are Russian minorities, they treat us more or less the same. Not identical, mind you, as we are not Han. They're not going to ignore the fact that we are Russian, in the American "color blind" style. But they do not treat us poorly for being Russian. Simply different. Because we are different.
Were they at all intrigued by your ethnic background
They were indeed intrigued. I imagine it's similar to if a child in an American school is a full blooded native American. They are "American", but are also very rare and thus interesting.
Also, throughout this topic I have not mentioned my father. His heritage is a whole another can of worms that I don't want to get into right now, but suffice to say he is a "non-Chinese white man", which also affected how the community saw us.

>It is. Chinese New Years is one of the Chinese holidays that Chinese kids weren't allowed a day off on. Chinese New Years is a Confusion holiday. Therefore Chinese New Years should be covered under the same reasonable accommodation as Jewish holidays.
You should get your cultural and religious holidays off, if the Jewish kids are getting their cultural and religious days off. Should you get Canadian Independence day off? No. Should you get Christmas off? Yes.
Canada's not really a good example though, since they share much of the same culture and religion as America.
If you were in a school in China, and the Jewish kids were getting Yum Kippur off, you should get Good Friday off.

The "long explanation" was just short hand for what essentially is a Q&A and session. I'd give them a general overview, and then they'd ask me about specific aspects that they are curious about. It's not really like telling a story, where I talk on and on and on by myself.
It really doesn't work well on a written platform like the internet. But you can feel free to ask me specific questions, and I'll answer them as best as I can.

did you or anyone in your community consider yourself Chinese
To an extant. I considered myself Chinese, as did my mother who also grew up in China. But, we also recognize that we are not ethnically Han. The community around us also recognized us as Chinese, but not Han, as long as we explained that we were descendant of immigrants and not recent immigrants ourselves.
as far as you know, do the ethnic Russians in China assimilate well in terms of language and culture
As far as I know, which honestly isn't very well, yes. The only other ethnic Russians I knew in China in person was my family. We did not live in a "Russia town" or other such ethnic enclave. There are many Russians in the North, and they are occasionally featured on Chinese TV. They speak Mandarin fluently, they celebrate Chinese holidays, etc.
it isn't exactly known by the world as a "melting pot" kind of country, and I've always been curious what kind of self identities those minority groups tend to have, especially the minorities who are ethnically very different from the Han Chinese.
China generally speaking has no problems with accepting non-Han native minorities as "Chinese". It's just that there's so few non-Han minorities that they aren't very prominent, giving the impression that China is not a "melting pot". If you add a drop of soy sauce to a gallon of water, it's still going to mix together, but it won't change the color of the water significantly. China is actually a pretty good melting pot, as long as minorities consider themselves Chinese. Hence many minority groups will consider themselves to be "Chinese" but not "Han". Minorities are in many ways encouraged to celebrate and promote their unique cultures, arts, music, etc. The problem comes when some minorities, like the Uyghurs or Tibetans, consider themselves to be "not Chinese", and try to secede. The government will take a hard stance on that. But if you successfully Sinicize, the government will have no problems with you.

I had some sort of accent when I first moved to America and began speaking English. I remember being teased about it. I'm not sure what it actually sounded like though, since I don't remember. Now a days I speak with the normal accent for the part of America I live in. Can pronounce ls and rs differently and everything.

I frequently browse /r/newsokur, /r/newsokunomoral, /r/rakugakicho, etc. since most of the people there are Japanese. It's nice being away from the West-centered default subs. So if you guys can get a unique userbase that's different from the rest of Reddit I'd be interested in joining.

Most people in Japan watch anime in it's original Japanese. Very few will go as far as watching a Japanese anime's English dub. I have never heard of anyone doing that to learn English. It would be simpler to watch American movies/tv shows with Japanese subs.
Your second question depends on just how widespread you think English in Japan is, which you haven't made clear, so I can't answer that. Movies and some TV shows are fairly popular, cartoons not so much.
