MODERATORS
This is a good point. Casting a genuine Tibetan actor would cause the house of mouse to lose all that sweet china money.
They could've still got someone vaguely Asian.
No I think people would have been more angry if they got someone Asian but not Tibetan to play the character. Changing an Asian Male character to a White Woman makes it more obvious and direct.
I don't think anyone had an issue with Benedict Wong as one of the head monks so I think your theory is bad.
Supporting character
They have talked about that, and said they fucked up. The went with a white chick because they didn't want to make it seem like Asian is just interchangeable
