Can't go Tibetan because that completely alienates the most populated country in the world. (Which sucks, but it is what it is)
Can't go with a different Asian because some would accuse them of thinking 'all Asians are the same'
Other races not great choices because then you are taking away one of the few prominent Asian roles
But at the end of the day, they cast someone who is highly talented, possesses a unique, almost other-worldly look, and seemingly changed the story to designate 'The Ancient One' as a title.
Also there was a scene showed at SDCC where there was an old Asian guy that Strange thought was the Ancient One, which played as if he was kind of stereotyping.
