Except that you still didn't refute my statement. How is it important to Danny Rand's character that he be white? Aside from being depicted as such in previous media? How does that play into his personality, his motivations, his origin, or just his character?

I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be white, I'm saying that he's a character that doesn't have any kind of racial/ethnic identity tied to the core of his character. I'm looking at his origin right this moment, and honestly, if I didn't already know he was white, I wouldn't have any reason to assume that he was based on his background and character.
