For the most part, I really don't care much about what race a fictional character is. I would just want whoever the actor is to play the role well.

Fair enough.

For me I would not mind it at all. More diversity is great.

The only thing is if they made him Japanese, his Samurai training becomes much less novel.

That would be fine, he speaks Japanese and some comics take place there. Marvel seems to be fine with this, in the earlier 2000s, they had an Asian Hulk named Amadeus Cho.

The only reason I think I would care about a character's race is if the character's race was if there was some cultural significance to the character. Like... A Luke Cage of a different race would be a bit odd as a different race, but it could still be done, imo. The actor would need to understand a lot about the culture, though.

if they casted an Asian actor for Wolverine

Might as well.

Canonically the character is supposed to be a 5'3" beefed up roid stack and yet 6'3" beanpole Hugh Jackman was a commercial success for the role.

Lots of jacked Asian guys who could fill the suit and look intimidating.

They're supposedly casting Giancarlo Esposito and Denzel Washington for Xavier and Magneto respectively. So what's wrong with an Asian playing Wolverine?

^ idk if either of those have been confirmed.

but on one hand, Asian Wolverine could be cool, but on the other, it might not stick out as much with how weaboo he is.

They recast t-1000 as an Asian dude in that terminator genisys movie. The movie sucked, but the action was p cool in that scene.

Isn't his whole personality beyond the blades being that White guy who likes Asian women / Asian culture?

Now that you mention it, I can see Disney making him Asian to get away from "Creepy White Guy" syndrome. <_<

The whole Jean thing is fairly creepy too, and for some reason he has had like 6 or 7 sidekicks through the years that are all teenage girls. Ultimate universe version of Wolverine tried to hook up with teenage Jean and teenage Mary Jane (while in Peter's body).

I'd rather less famous Asian X-men get bigger roles than recasting. Someone like Sunfire or Karma should get some attention, instead of race swapping existing characters or just adding Jubilee or Psylocke and calling it a day.
