As far as I can remember, when she was suffering from amnesiac, her body was switched into Asian one, something like that. She was also betrayed by an illusion.. etc.
Until then she kept using her ninja outfit to protect herself, I guess, for a longer period of time. So, that's why we recognize her most as Asian.

Here. I found this one from UXM.Net
Betsy emerged from the Siege Perilous at the shore of an island in the south China Sea, naked and amnesiac. She was found by the Hand and brought to one of their agents, Matsu'o Tsurayaba, who recognized her as the X-Man Psylocke.Matsu'o saw in her the perfect chance to restore his lover, Kwannon. She had served Lord Nyoirin, a rivaling crimelord, and when they had battled each other, Kwannon took a fall off a cliff and nearly drowned, leaving her brain dead. He contacted Spiral at the Bodyshoppe for help. To please her employer, Mojo, Spiral twisted the two women further than she was asked. Besides switching their minds, she manipulated genetic coding between them. Both women now had traits of Kwannon and Psylocke and it was nearly impossible to tell them apart. Apparently, though, most of Betsy's soul was transferred into the Asian woman's body. Further, she underwent some conditioning that resulted in her believing herself to be Lady Mandarin, the Hand's prime assassin.
