Why the frick-frack not?

Is the name 'Danny/Daniel' somehow tied to him being white? Is 'Daniel' an exclusively Caucasian name? No, no it's not.

Jesus, that's some extremely flawed reasoning. That he couldn't be called 'Danny Rand' just because he's not white. Hell, actor Daniel Henney? He's half-Korean, and looks like it. So get out of here with that nonsense kind of logic.

Yeesh.

That's seriously dependent on how strongly a character's cultural identity/ethnicity/etc ties into their motivations, origin, and personality. For instance, using your same examples, Superman wouldn't be all that much affected by being changed to Asian, provided he was still raised with the same kind of morals and ethics. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is very closely tied to the culture of Themyscira, which itself stems from ancient Greece. Thus, her culture and cultural identity is very important to her character.
