The examples you gave where almost all chars made by another ethinicity. So for the movie to work as an story in USA it made sense to be americans and not japanese, same for oldboy.

they changed them from chinese to white irish-american to be precise and of course it made sense that they changed their ethnicity. The whole point I wanted to prove is that you don't have to stick to close to your source material to make a good film.

The close to the source on this case is relating to the location of action so it makes sense. And that isn't really trying to portray a book or anything like that, it is more a copy and paste.
