Part of it is due more to the recent "whitewashing" Oscars outrage and Marvel not doing themselves any favors by interviewing a bunch of Asian-American actors making it seem like the character was going to played by an Asian actor.

Also doesn't help that there is a really old stereotype when it comes to white people playing martial arts characters.
That's Iron Fist's whole thing. He's looked down on by all the martial artists because he's rich and white, yet he becomes so great he earns their respect and whatever.
