It's a bit of western ignorance. "Let's see, Memoirs of a Geisha... get me Zhang Ziyi, she's got squinty eyes!"

Haha... true... I thought it puzzling they cast Chinese actresses in a movie about Japan.
But I don't mind that so much as at least they look the part.
There's a famous NZ actor named Cliff Curtis who plays a Columbian in the movie Collateral, an Arab in the movie Three Kings and a Latino gangster in the movie training day.
He's Maori but plays his characters convincingly and he looks the part I guess. (i.e. he's got brown skin and the appropriate features)
