I won't argue that hussie's "aracial" thing, as nice of a bone as it was to throw to us, wasn't kind of a hilarious backpedal after he implied their whiteness for years, but arguing that "well they're literally white, just like trolls are literally grey" doesn't quite...work? The early MSPA adventures portrayed pretty much everything as black&white, and Problem Sleuth only used color to emphasize status effects or special objects. (When Problem Sleuth summons some jazz musicians (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000920) who are pretty obviously supposed to be black, their skin is as blank as PS's ugly stick figure mug.) When the comic started, it was closer to problem sleuth's use of color. The comic had gradually shifted to full color by the time the trolls were revealed, but previous designs - such as the humans and their clothes and their houses - stayed colorless.

So what I am saying is hussie is by no means some champion of araciality, but there is room to at least interpret the kids as having skin tones other than light as "fuck."

Hussie was making a point about them not having a race pretty early in the comic (been reading since 2009). Not in any attempt to be a paragon of social justice - hell, before MSPA he ran a website called Team Special Olympics - just that he didn't care what race they were. When asked whether John (and later Jade) were meant to be Asian he generally said they can be whatever race you want them to be.
