I know she's Logan's clone, so I would assume she's Caucasian, but is she a clone using only Logan's genetic makeup?

Over the years, in my honest opinion, the same thing can be said for Logan's appearance. When he was in Madripoor and Buscema was drawing him, he looked Asian. When Paul Smith drew him during his love affair with Mariko and the resulting tensions with clan Yashida, he also seemed to have a slightly Japanese (pan-Asian) appearance. I can't say with any degree of certainty whether the things I noticed were intentional devices on the part of the artists, or if my own perception was being altered given the subject matter. However, Marvel mired Logan's history in mystery for quite a long time, almost as if to keep people guessing on purpose. While Origins cleared up some of Logan's back story, there remains a good deal of inexactness to it all.

Along the lines of what Kylactus wrote, and spinning this to the real world, the interbreeding between human beings over however many millennia has made the identifying of features (and skin-tones) idiosincratic to specific cultures a difficult thing to do. Add to this the inconsistent presentation by a multitude of different illustrators, the subjective nature of the viewer, and you get an even deeper quagmire of speculation. The long and short is that Marvel hasn't really been specific or consistent with either Laura or Logan. Ultimately, there's no definitive answer to your question. You may be better off making up your own mind as to what's most appropriate for you.
