Look, my point is simple: if you agree that snow and sugar are white, then the sunlight is also white.
It has to be because white was historically described as the color of the snow (or whatever is white) under the sunlight.
Now, if you want to adopt a more precise definition of white and other colors, based on (not so) recent scientific insights about the light, you can. Then the sunlight is not white, neither is snow or sugar. And is also certainly not yellow.
Let's be honest, the sun light is almost perfectly white, and kids use yellow to draw the sun, because it wouldn't make sense to draw it with white.
