A while back a political ad ran that was supposed to take place in Beijing in 2030. There was some discussion about the students and whether they looked believable given expected improvements in nutrition and dental care given the PRC's current trajectory. I thought the discussion was silly — the students were obviously Americans because of the way they chuckled. IIRC the people who did the casting call for it put ads for Asians around a community college in the DC area and offered free food.
Mannerisms can be very noticeable if you're attuned to them.
