I thought his race/ethnicity was something present in the comics but I’ve been reading through them and have found no mention of it so far

Nope, new addition to the show from what I gathered was implemented because fans intially perceiving that Debbie and by proxy Mark had Asian descent.

I just find it funny to think how Kirkman reacted to it.

So fans were like "cool an asian superhero lead."

Kirkman: What? Not intentional but uh... sure I guess.

Best examples of diversity in media is when its unintentional or doesnt matter, and Kirkman nails it for the most part
