( given marc's intrinsic desire to not really talk to people or be any degree of what regular human beings would class as 'social', the answer, the reason as to 'why white' is, perhaps, ironic: he wants to be seen. he wants to be noticed.
or, more accurately, he wants mr. knight (the three-piece suit) to be noticed, he wants moon knight (the cape and cowl, which he — annoyingly — doesn't have), two different sides of the same coin, to be noticed. marc spector is no-one, really. a fist, a tool. no-one to be noticed, no-one to care about, but without the mask, without that one particular piece of fabric with the crescent moon embroidered in the centre, he is marc spector. not moon knight. not mr. knight.

it doesn't seem to occur to marc that his answer might not sit with the question he'd asked amos: if he wants to be noticed, then why would he care about being noticed? but that's not something he elaborates on.
