You're thinking way too broad about this "background." For example in D2, the paladin was obviously black. Its true he may not be called "African-American" in Sanctuary, but there IS some sort of ethnicity going on. What would you say the ethnicity of the paladin would be??
And there is no conformity involved. I was just using a general ethnicity that would fit the Wizard. You and I both know that the wizard isn't from Asia, but has some sort of oriental ethnicity. Thats just you being a smartass. Of course the Wizard isn't "Asian" because they're not in "Asia."
Also, the developers of Blizzard had stated that the Monk consisted of some sort of European decent during a presentation at Blizzcon 2009.

Finally, Blizzard put in races and genders and such for a reason: DIVERSITY!!!
So the conclusion: the Wizard is of oriental decent.
You somewhat asked and answered your question at the same time
But yes, I'd agree and say that she looks slightly 'Asian'. And as you said the island that she hails from also sounds quite like an eastern/oriental influence.
Hahaha I guess I did . What do you think about the Male Wizard?
Is it just me or is the wizard asian?!! (male and or female)
According to the scriptures - correct me if I am wrong - the following passage refers to the Wizard's origin:
"Well, it seems they neglected to teach our wizard manners on her native island of Xiansai, for she was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning."
Xiansai certainly sounds like some Asian/Oriental country to me.
NOTE: I AM NOT A RACIST, I'm just trying to establish what races the characters are. In fact, I'm Asian and honestly, I'm a little excited to find out that the Wizard may be Asian as well.
What do you guys think the Wizard's race/origin is??
