Modern human beings are trained to read black on white, not white on black, when we read books and newspapers so to the average person it would be black stripes on a white horse for that very reason.

The answer to this question comes down to perspective. Many zoologists would say that a zebra is white because its stripes end towards the belly and the belly is mostly white. Others would say that a zebra is black because if you shaved all the fur off a zebra the skin is mostly black. So it really depends on how you want to look at it.

If you ever look at the underside of a zebra you'll see it has no stripes under it's stomach and chest and this skin is white. The black stripes start on it's side and curve over it's back to the other side.
