LilacDragon - White Shepherds have always been a part of the GSD. They were even shown along side their colored counterparts for many many years. Even one of the most famous GSD fanciers in America owned and bred whites.

This is Geraldine Dodge with her white Shepherds and her Colored Shepherds


It wasn't until the 1960s where it became a fault so they could not be shown with the AKC. Until then they did show with their colored counterparts. For the CanKC they were able to compete next to their colored counterparts till 1995. No white is not a genetic flaw. No white is not the cause of genetic health problems. The White Shepherd is just that. A White GSD. It has no more or no less health problems then a standard GSD. If you read my first post it explains all this. There is no reason what so ever to cull whites(whether by altering them or killing them) that are born just because they are white.

GSD breeders who are agianst whites for the reasons you stated need to do more study on the history of their breed and also more study into the genetic research that has been done to prove that the wives tails about the whites are just that. Wives tails. Just like other breeds have seperated into others because of size(poodles) or coat types(dachsunds) the white is looking to do teh same so they can once agian take their rightful place in teh conformation ring.
