Sounds like a fascinating panel! I immediately thought of Kung Fu, starring David Carradine instead of Bruce Lee, who was initially meant to star in it.
You might want to check out the very excellent animated show Avatar: The Last Airbender -- it's one of those shows that starts out for children, but it's so good that in the end, half the audience turns out to be adults. Every single character in it is Asian. M. Night Shymalian is doing a live-action movie version of the show and, though there's no word on the casting yet, I find myself afraid that it's going to be re-cast with Caucasian actors.
