How does Disney avoid discrimination if have have a qualified applicant but isn't Japanese? I've wondered this about movie actors too...
If Disney required too authentic people it would take more money to pay them too..(not many qualified people in the area/have to move).

Because we all know that MONEY is the one thing Disney is lacking at the moment...(pardon my sarcasm as I attempt some humor).

Thankfully, for now at least, sanity prevails and you are allowed to discriminate on the basic of race, sex, etc., in casting performance roles. I presume that Disney could also argue that people working in other guest-visible positions in World Showcase are also partially performance roles. I wouldn't be surprised if the use of the term "cast member" isn't to some degree related to this.

What about an update of ROE with Hatsune Miku singing We Go On, or some streetmosphere based around an Ultraman family vacation to Disney World like this Hawaii tourism campaign
Of course, I'm being kinda sincere on the Ultraman thing.

Characters from Japan's closest popcultural counterpart to Doctor Who and Star Trek enjoying a nice vacation from punching giant monsters and actually getting along with a couple of monsters (the lobster guy Baltan basically being the iconic enemy race of the franchise like how the Doctor has the Daleks) for once.

When it comes to casting for talent, you can look, and hint at, but not specify, exact ethnicity ... it is technically illegal. Good casting agencies can help you get exactly what your looking for but in terms of posting or having a casting call for something like this, it could easily lend itself to a lawsuit were they to say, 'applicants must be Japanese'.
It is something I deal with all the time when clients want specific ethnicity's to represent their product. Their are cues like last names, ext that help ... or a really good casting agent that knows their stuff.

Which brings me to this question: Where do Hawaiians go for an exotic vacation?
