She's a recast of an Orientalist character because they decided that was less problematic than the Orientalism

But they still did the rest of the Orientalism and Wong was the best part of the movie so...

    They made her Celtic...

    Not that any of that matters. She was ok on the movie, so very few people complained and no studio amplified the race-rage to cover up for the people complaining that the movie sucks.

    A Celt with a shaved head wearing Asian robes, living in a Tibetan monastery that Dr. Strange reaches after backpacking through Asia looking for spiritual enlightenment lol

    They can teleport anywhere in the word at will. If anything, they should have been more diverse.

    Sure. Doesn't stop it from being blatant Orientalism on screen while not even bothering to cast an Asian person for the role.

    At least give her a knot tattoo or something, damn, that's just some bald white lady that you made vague and irrelevant Druidic implications about otherwise.

    It'd have been really cool if they had each sorcerer using distinct styles based on different traditional mysticisms but maybe that's a bit much to expect of Disney.

    Somehow, it's more normal than everybody in a group that recruits people from all over the world for tens of thousands of years having the same ethnicity...

    But I understand if you are complaining it's different from the comics. As I said, it doesn't matter.
