It worked for Dr Strange because the place was shown to very much NOT be Asian Dominated but multicultural, and because Magic isn't something exclusively Asian.
Look at how Iron Fist turned out.
Iron Fist is easily the worst Marvel Netflix show and the worst part about it is the title character! You don't need a political agenda to dislike a poorly written, rushed production with no sense of itself. The 'outsider' angle is part of the charm of the comic character for me, I was fine with them keeping him Caucasian. But he was an obnoxious brat on the show. I enjoyed the show strictly for the family dynamic with the Meachums, they were the most compelling characters even if their arcs didn't always make sense either. Iron Fist failed because it was a mess, not because the central character isn't Asian. He was supposed to be an obnoxious brat though, that's going to be his character arc is overcoming that.
The show wasn't the greatest, I fully admit that, but regarding his character, I actually see what they're going for. He's deeply troubled over losing his family and he's completely naïve to American culture. I mean the guy isn't going to be normal.
