Ben 10 is American Animation, like the Avatar series.

That's the thing I was trying to say.

Ben 10's art is like in anime style sooo... Yeah.

So would RWBY be considered anime?

Yeah.  

RWBY, Ben10, Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are not anime, but are considered anime influenced animations.  

Just a quick recap for everyone

Anime: a JAPANASE made animation
Cartonn: a AMERICAN made animation

Both take inspiration from each other but thats the bottom line  

Not really, Anime rarely at all takes influence from cartoons, and many cartoons don't take inspiration from anime, but the few cartoons that do are considered Japanese influenced animation. Not cartoon, but not anime, just an animation similar to anime.

Alot of anime that is aimed at the west defintly uses influence from whenever the art style or just how western countrys react to tv (the west are very heavy on gritty, drama shows) and the best example i can give you is monster or in my eyes and even bigger one is the recently airing space dandy in which is obiviously being dubbed firet and has alot of western comedy in it

Me too.  

In it's definition, anything that's animated is considered Anime (including cartoons, ex; Ben 10, Looney Toons, etc)

That's how Japan views it, we (the west) view it and define it as something that comes strictly from Japan.

Last Airbender, Korra are what I consider American anime. (RWBY is widely accepted to be anime).

Only reason why this debate exists is simply because people believe Japan will lose part of it's cultural identity if we were to accept Non-Japanese animations as anime.
