My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.
Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.
Ok that's great and all but what if someone outside of a ethnic group can do a solid performance? As I've already said acting is all about playing someone you're not so I don't see the need for an actor to have the same Scottish-indigenous American-Mexican and Somali heritage of a character.
As I stated above: "Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character."
At least Indonesian generally does not care about matching ethnicity or race.
