she portrays Allison Ng: an aggressively peppy Air Force fighter pilot of Chinese-Hawaiian-SwedishI like Emma Stone but if this is the role, casting her was silly.
And isn't Ng a Vietnamese name?

“And isn’t Ng a Vietnamese name? “
I was just going to post that. Ng is a Vietnamese name. Pronounced “Ing.”

Ng is not really Vietnamese but Ngo is. Before they started changing spellings it was usually spelled “Eng” for earlier immigrants.

And isn't Ng a Vietnamese name? Charles Ng, an exceptionally horrible California-based serial killer, is described in on-line material as "Chinese-American."

Ng is a Chinese last name.
It's the Cantonese pronunciation of Wu which is the Mandarin pronunciation/transliteration.
吴 or 巫 or others.
