It's only the really nit-picky ones with a bit of a prickly attitude to boot that tell me things like that. But yeah, if you RP enough you'll probably get someone who will complain about it. Just remember that you can always choose to not RP with them if they don't like what you do.
I find Ul'Dah to be a very prime example of a melting pot because of all the refugees and commerce that happens there. I don't see it as being homogeneous at all, even to desert natives. There are Ul'Dah NPC's everywhere with pale skin.
As for your family, just make your main have a grandfather or grandmother that was pale. Sometimes genes skip a generation. There is usually a way to explain something if you want to RP it. When I was fleshing out Ryanti's family, I added in some Ishgardian influence before they closed their doors 20 years back to make another reason for why his skin is light and his hair is white.

For hot climates, I am willing to overlook gears that don't look incredibly stuffy and even those that don't conceal very much, but I hate when people underdress in Coerthas OOCly!!11!1

I don't see anything wrong with it IMO. Looks like something someone would wear in the desert if they wished. It's also pretty lined up with what I expect a Sagolii Miqo, as I imagine them to be more tolerable of standing the heat of the sun. The hood could be used to protect your face and your lower extremities can be protected too.
Her abdomen might get red from the sun if she's out for a while, but that's about it.
