One of the weird things about Magic is that modern human culture is really really White. Every major competing political position is white. Communism is white, socialism is white, democracy is white, theocracy is white, fascism is white, bureaucracy is white, monarchy is white. So are moral philosophies; utiliatarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, they're all just arguing about which is the right way to live Whitely. All the western religions are white, as are Hinduism and Jainism. Buddhism I think depends on which tradition you're following but is in the white-blue-green cluster, and Taoism is the rare religion that's not white (it's Green). So expressing human values is a White thing to do.
This often makes it hard for us to actually picture what 'neutral' looks like, since we only have white-X people to compare to.
