If anything, western parents should just keep in mind japanese standards are different from western standards. And these days, more and more parents keep it in mind.

This was literally all I meant by your quoted statement, Classifying only Japanese created Anime as anime helps the parents know they should look for the different cultural valuation in the anime... that is the only reason I see to make a regional distinction that isn't either nationalist or petty.
