Is Edna(suit designer) supposed to be Asian?

It never occurred to me before up until I've just rewatched the show again. Edna looks close to Asian based on how the character looks and talks. Did anybody think about that? I wonder how other people think about Edna.

The character was inspired by the late award-winning costume designer Edith Head, who was not Asian.

The Incredibles: Edna is a half-Japanese, half-German, short fashion designer and auteur.

The character is clearly German. And, uh, Yusuf? Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. No more than "stupid asshole" is an ethnicity.
