Asian cast happen to be playing the antagonists in the story, so it’s “American racism against Chinese”.
That is in fact, racist. Hollywood has a long history of recasting Asian people as white but only if it’s for a main character role. They’ll so far as make biopics of Asian dudes but change him into a white guy like the movie about the MIT cardcounter. If they’re the villian they’ll still be Asian. (see avatar movie)
Also you know in America, Asian people are in fact the minority. Diversity casting is when you replace members of the minority group with members of the majority group. The more of the majority group there are the more diverse it is.
