If the role had gone to an Asian people would have complained that it was a "magical Asian master" stereotype. In the comics it sort of is, even though a movie could easily play it without the older trappings.

But the rationale is just plain horrific. They'd rather have China's money over showing a Tibetan? Even casting an Asian person in the role wouldn't have changed how horrible that is. Even casting a Tibetan and removing that element from the character would be terrible.

The Ancient One isn't actually closely based on real-world Tibetan religion anyway. He's just sort of weird.

to avoid the mystical asian teaches white man thing, they could have cast Dr. Strange as an asian man. :)

He's white in the comics. Why people are so adamant that he needs to be Asian because he lives in Asia is beyond me.
