If someone is truly color blind, they shouldn't be defaulting to white. But generally speaking, if you're not prioritizing any color, you should get a random sampling. In comics (where there are no actors, so the whole majority white actors thing doesn't apply) we'd expect to see characters from all over the place with all sorts of ethnicities. Someone who says they're colorblind and then defaults to white obviously isn't, not really.

And when there are actors involved, then you've got colorblind writing but color sensitive casting, because that's two completely different people (or groups of people). Star trek was an example of that exact thing. The writing ignored (except in pointed examples) the ethnicities of the characters, but the casting was done intentionally.
