The white definition will indeed vary a lot from place to place. I'm sure they need to design CC trying to give as much liberty as possible, in spite of their own racial resignations, as it seems some of the designers there have a difficult time accepting that.
To me, the whitest skin in this game already looks very pale, but that's because in my country, even having a great diversity of people around, too clear skinned people are really much harder to come by, as well as too dark skinned, but all the others are quite easy to find. There's also those with pinky skins, yellowish etc. CC must be designed to support all these variables. The same for the default head-shapes.
And what we/I really want from CC is mixing and matching face parts (eyes, noses, mouths, brows, etc) from all the faces, and not be "locked in" with the base faces which you can only scale (small nose/big nose).
