I believe that like in the books the original Lena was half Asian in the film universe. What came out of the Shimmer was a biological mashup of her teammates that only thought of herself as Lena and so Lomax (played by Benedict Wong) is so scared of being in the same room with her because she is obviously not of this world. Also in the books [[spoiler: Ghost Bird doesn't know Lena The Biologist's name because it was never spoken inside Area X. This was a security measure to prevent the doppelgangers who regularly escaped from Area X from infiltrating society because the authorities would immediately hospitalize people who didn't remember their own names so the Southern Reach could just watch the hospitals and pick them up. In the Movie nobody mentioned that Lena was half-Asian (just like nobody in the team makes a big deal about race on the mission in general) so when The Brightness copies Lena to make the Humanoid it doesn't realize to make her Asian.]]

This doubles as a {{CastingGag}} because [[VideoGame/{{Prey2017}} it wouldn't be the first time Benedict Wong wore an environment suit to talk to a humanoid who has the memories of an Asian woman.]]
