Hollywood is just being Hollywood. If they can get away with putting a white actor in the role, even if there's no particular reason for that character to be white or the character is actually traditionally non-white they will. I don't think that's solely about business. Prejudice does play a significant part too and I just don't think they're all that interested in changing the status quo too much anytime soon anyway. But I cringe that this is going to be Hollywood's latest excuse for hiring so few non-whites and creating so few roles for non-whites. "We don't want to offend" It sounds so reasonable on the surface, but is such complete bs everywhere else.

In this case though even casting an Asian person in the role would have been bad, because they still would have made them not Tibetan. Getting rid of a character's nationality in order to make money is absolutely disgusting no matter who is playing them.
