Your privilege is showing. Just because the characters "don't look white", it's still not necessary to pump in whiteness in there. Just because you feel the show seemed to be about "non-Asian" characters in an Asian setting doesn't automatically mean the default is white. For many of us, we defaulted to, yes, Asian people, because it's in an Asian setting. It's bizarre to essentiallize the characters as white within what is clearly an Asian setting.
For minority people who are more or less constantly edged out of big film projects like this, it *does*, in fact, make sense to cast PoC.
