Just to be clear, what I am saying is I think most people are probably a little clingy about their own specific ethnic group within the wider group it is associated with (Chinese within Asian, Italian within European, etc etc), but other regional groups and the different specific groups within it are of less personal concern.
I know I am a giant hypocrite because I don't care about Australian's playing other nationalities/ethnicities despite not liking other people playing Australians, which was why I wondered what your opinion was on Sandra Oh's comment, primarily in relation to your original question: just because the actor is whatever nationality/ethnicity, how likely should someone assume the character is also?
