Making everyone white seems like a sure way to get tagged as being racist. I know you're not and appreciate the sensitivity you've given this. The other answers have some great feedback regarding this and I think you'd do well by following much of the advice given. You could go there other way and force the issue of race, but not with black v white skin tones. Try, as another answerer suggested, stripes v. spots, or as James S. A. Corey did in **Leviathan Wakes** , long bones v. compact bones - and people from a well (ie. a gravity well, or planet) v. belters (people born and raised in low gravity environs). Your story involves aspects of cultural divides and domination which is the basis of racism. So, put it in your story, it may enhance the sub plots. Either way, best of luck!
