Heck, if I’m white, meaning lack of color, I don’t really see the problem.

I believe that is incorrect. White is the combination of colors. Black is the absence of color(s).

“Black is the absence of color(s).”

In that case, you’d better start calling me black or I’ll be greatly offended. LOL

It depends on the situation and whether you're talking about light or pigment.

I believe you have it backwards, black is the combination of all colors, white (true pure white is the absence of any pigment or color). I could be completely out of my tree though, but I seem to remember a simple science experiment in junior high where we used black ink and drew (bled) all of the colors of the rainbow out of it anyhow.

White skin is due to a relative absence of pigmentation. Progressively darker skin is due to increasing amounts of pheomelanin and eumelanin. White light is due to a combination of all waveforms of visible light. But if you mix all the primary colors of pigments in paints, you won't get white paint, you'll get a muddy looking mess.
