Most people realized it was done mostly to skirt the Chinese market. I think the major problem with the other groups is the lack of major starpower. I don’t think I can even name a Romani actress.

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.
