Given that I can think of at least three white guys names James off the top of my head that's a really stupid way to avoid confusion, and I feel like someone would only miss how stupid that was if they had a weird obsession with their own skin color, so it's actually two red flags

Asian Jim is a character on the US version of The Office. I suspect this is a play on that.
