I mean... agreed about Joss but what does it matter in the context of the story? It was more about the most popular language/culture being the only thing left of old world in the future. I wouldn't have minded an all-Asian cast but I think the bigger reason was China's cultural influence being the strongest that humans in the future hold on to. Though if we're going by numbers it should be India and China.

I agree.

"White people" is a made-up category, and we don't really complain about a movie where people drink Champagne and eat brie and have French furniture but they are American and not French/lack French ancestry. Or if people in a movie based in Africa drink Coke and wear Levi's but aren't American. Brands are global now.

Certain cultures are influential in various areas and eras, and in Firefly's world, Chinese culture is the most influential, so it makes sense that people who are not ethnically Chinese would have Chinese stuff. The brands and styles are intergalactic.

But it would make sense to have some Chinese people cast, sure. But yeah, people in that world are influenced by China.
