I don't know anyone who is allergic to black pepper and not white pepper. They are both the same thing -- the black is the outside of the peppercorn, and the white is the inside. The white does not taste quite as strongly, so maybe they don't react to small amounts, but give them enough and they would react.

They will also be allergic to the colored peppercorns -- green, red, pink, etc.

I am allergic to it, and it is a royal nuisance. It makes it really hard to eat out, and at occasions like pot lucks I just eat at home first. I don't want to have to tell everyone at a function how to cook.

Black pepper is the whole peppercorn and white pepper is the peppercorn with the shell removed. Black pepper has a black outer shell that has a strong flavor while white pepper is milder in flavor.

What is white pepper powder?

White pepper is from exactly the same plant as black pepper (Piper Nigrum), sometimes called "peppercorns". White pepper is actually a black peppercorn, but with the shell removed - this means that white pepper is slightly mellower in taste. White pepper has the advantage that, when used in a dish where ground black pepper would be visible, it can be used for a more aesthetically pleasing result. For example, when black pepper is used to season scrambled eggs, it leaves visible black specks. This can be unnerving to a diner who would not usually expect to find black specks in their food; using white pepper negates this situation without compromising on taste.

Both black & white pepper originate from the same source. They come from the peppercorns of the plant pepper nigrum. The difference is in the way they are harvested.
