What I dislike is when these horses are marketed as race stallions, when they're never ever ever going to get a decent racehorse from the kind of mares that people who are breeding to them send.

Also plenty of them are too big, I was looking through my stallion register (UK) and only two stallions were 16'3, the rest were smaller, none at 17'0 (though I know Unbridled's Song is kind of the exception that proves the rule).

So far as breeding racehorses with these colours goes, I think the best case to hope one of these Japanese fillies produces a decent colt, I think Yukichan is now a Grade 2 winner, so there's every chance in time a white racing line might emerge.
