Well, old chap
It can be considered an advantage. After all, a gwailo barbarian doesn't need to use chopsticks at the dinner table with the rest of them.

Kyra can be excused for a lot of things that would send a Family member into a coronary. She would most certainly benefit the Corp by her diverse viewpoint. As they say about the Families "Our Unity is our greatest strength, and our greatest weakness"
A lot of symbology is involved with the Corp and its culture. For example: when you have dinner with a guest, you sit facing the door and your guest with your back to it. Old chinese custom, supposedly on the belief that your host would guard your back in case unfriendly chaps decide to pop in and crash the party. But it can be considered a disadvantage too.
There would be some schism inevitably. Much less so with Max' own Family. The jury is still out on who is Mrs. Right though. Lets wait and see shall we gentlemen? Plenty to see and do until Gotterdammerung.
I just didn't realise that there would be such overwhelming support for Miss Kaslowski. Fascinating.
