She can pass as Japanese. The Japanese certainly don't all look alike you know. If you want to talk about bad casting, how about John Wayne as Genghis Khan?

You ever seen the historical films made on the Opium War and other European transgression on Imperial China during the Maoist period. They had Chinese actors made up to look like Europeans. It was very interesting to watch because in the 1930's Hollywood had white actors made up to look like Chinese (Foo Manchu, Charlie Chan, etc, etc). Neither did a good job, but fun to watch.
