The Emperor was indeed Caucausian, but he was not a "racist" by our modern sense. He believed in Unification for all humans despite race. But the reason there are hardly any Blacks/Latinos/Asian decendents is possibly due to the Age of Strife, in which many races were killed and mostly only whites survived, but that could also be questioned by the fact that most Dark Age of Technology era colonized worlds contain a mostly white population, so the other races most likely killed themselves off during some war before the Dark Age of Technology. Or some briliant geneticist (possibly the Emperor in disguse) deleted all differences between Terran races in order to disolve racial strife and unite them against xenos, and potential threats such as Chaos. Minority races tend to cause racial strife, take the L.A race riots for example, or even recent events, the Emperor knew no Human Imperium could be built with minorites calling for disruptive civil rights movements every few decades!
