She's Japanese-American, emphasis on the American (i.e., born and raised and, as a result, is only familiar with American culture).
EDIT: This is pure conjecture, of course, since we still know very little about Emily.

It's supported by evidence from the script. Akima pointed out one Emily-ism that would be unthinkable in Chinese culture, from which we can extrapolate that someone from a Chinese-influenced culture wouldn't do it either.

What is it? I can't seem to find that post.

Probably this one. At the time I posted that, Emily's surname had not been revealed, so I was referring to Chinese culture.
