of course his production, personality and tenure on this team are bigger factors for his popularity but imo, his being white and playing a position of skill plays into his popularity amongst the mostly white skins home crowd.

Not really, I have a Portis jersey...plenty of Jordan/Pippens too. I even had a Doug Williams, Muggsy Bogues, and a Glen Robinson back in the day.
Come to think of it, outside of the #10 Skins jersey that came with my Hutch uniform when I was a kid in the mid 80s, I never had a white guy's jersey.
I don't consider skin color when buying jerseys...most people probably do not either (I'm hoping).
