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 thought their VAs were specifically picked because they made this change to have give them Asian descent.
