Actually, Martial Arts movies are pretty much the only movies I can think of that star Asian actors that don't need to be asian to make sense in the story or make the story more authentic. Last Samurai and Tokyo Drift used Asians cause they are set in Japan.
Find an Asian in a major role in a non-martial arts movie set in North America. Pretty hard to do. Inception is the only one I can think of. Jackie Chan in Rush Hour kinda works.
