Most houses in the desert are painted white as white reflects the heat and does not allow for the walls to absorb it. On the other hand a black house would absorb all heat and the house would be a lot hotter then if it was painted white.

Did race have an impact in the naming of the White House?

No, not at all. In the 1800's paint was very expensive and most houses were wooden unpainted houses. After the British burned the White House in 1812 it was painted white to cover the burn marks on the wood ( they just did some work on it and found some of the burn marks still on it) and because it stood out people started using the term "white house" to mean the house that was painted white. It could have been any color if colored paint had existed then, but only white was made. So, the term for the president's house became the "white house" and still today we all know what house that it is just by that name.
