Think about the old movie GENGHIS KHAN from 1966.
Omar Sharif as Genghis
James Mason as the Chinese Ambassador
Robert Morley as the Chinese Emperor.

Then there is 55 DAYS AT PEKING.
Flora Robson as the Chinese Dowager.

The Mickey Rooney in some movie as a Japanese.
Marlon Brando as a Japanese.
Marlon Brando as a Indio Mexican Zapata.

Oh my, the list goes on!

Actors are people who are paid to pretend to be someone they are not.
