Don't be alarmed by the name port wine stain IS indeed a birthmark. Remember Mikhail Gorbachov and the "map of america" on his forehead. Its the same thing. Being Caucasian probably doesn't matter much ehar excepting that there is more contrast with skin color. It IS cosmetic for the most part so I wouldn't worry too much.
