    This is a good point. Casting a genuine Tibetan actor would cause the house of mouse to lose all that sweet china money.

        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.
