This isn't earth after all and people of different races might not even be around. Stop getting your nickers in a twist and let it go. It's an anime after all remember? Some people are uncomfortable with the overabundance of white people in entertainment media, feeling sad that there aren't more people like themselves being represented.

That, and if everyone's white, it can end up looking kinda plain, don't you think? If there's variety in skin color, it looks more interesting. Emerald and Neptune added a little interesting variety, so I wouldn't mind seeing some more characters with darker skin.
