If anyone has noticed, the coloured map of Remnant features a desert-like area. If that place is ever explored, the natives would likely have a darker skin tone. Like it was said multiple times already, geography (and thus the amount of long-term UV exposure) plays a large role in determining skin tone. We just happen to start the story in Vale which is possibly lacking in sunlight, compared to the rest of Remnant.

I imagine Remnant residents aren't big on immigration either. You know, with all the Grimm roaming about and probably capsizing boats and whatnot. The Vale Tournament is probably one of those rare occasions where the funding is there to have the boats escorted by the military.
