No excusing needed. I am sorry if you felt I was being critical of you, I was just trying to show that what may be true in one area may not be true in another. I usually try to put something about it being my experience instead of stating it as a fact. The statement you just made allows people to decide if it works for them and in their area.
Several local predators here do not care what color their prey is, they go by scent and actions. If it acts like prey they attack it, no matter the color. Mountain Lions will attack Joggers because they are running (prey actions) and I am sure the Joggers do not wear fawn brown clothing or smell remotely like a deer. I do know albinos do not last long in the wilds. Once a predator learns white is food they will eat is just as readily as anything else, and it is more easily seen than any other color. My mother looses her white chickens more often than her black ones. She is in New Mexico. She does loose some black ones too though. Owls don't seem to care about colors, but they find the white ones first.
My experience with white rabbits was a friend's pet rabbit that got out of its cage while its habitat was being cleaned. My friend put it outside to "enjoy the grass" under the cage but the latch was not put on right and it got out. First I tried to catch it but I couldn't. That rabbit hadn't been out of the cage for more than 3 minutes and I had gone back inside to get my friend's help to catch it. When we went back outside it was just in time to watch a hawk swoop out of the sky and carry it off ... No white prejudice there and truly unexpected as she lives on the outskirts of a big city.
As I try to say, your mileage may vary.
