You seem to be speaking in nothing but generalities. I asked you a specific question - is the actress clearly non-Japenese to the Asian viewers? You did not provide an answer.I strongly disagree with your first sentence. I am quite familiar with one such group, and as I said, there is plenty of overlap. Even such distinct groups as Jews, for example, can be confused for others.
So let me ask you again - I understand she is not Japanese... is she OBVIOUSLY non-Japanese to an Asian viewer?
I, of course, don't know if you are or aren't an Asian person... so I am asking a question, not making a statement.
I do agree there are silly stereotypes - like those Russians, with their fur hats that apparently grow attached to their heads.
