Difficult question... I'll answer it based on the visual, rather than the interests and personal traits behind it. Yes, pale skin is one of the staples of "the look". It's suggested that we always buy foundation a shade or two lighter than our natural tone, regardless of what colour our skin is. I was very tan when I first got into goth which was very difficult to work with clothes-wise, so now my couple of shades lighter foundation IS white. I don't think there is anything wrong or unusual about goths with darker skintones, though. You could even go the undead Egyptian look to accent it! But look... the basic idea behind goth make-up, in my experience, is to look like a fresh corpse (or less than fresh, to deathrockers!) which is why the paler skin is the norm. If you wear make-up then you would probably be better off aiming for slightly paler than your natural tone, just because it's what everyone else does. Remember, we're black sheep. ;]
If you don't wear make-up though, then you don't really have to think about your race. Your appearance doesn't define you as a goth.

EvFaerAshlynn Pretty much everyone who's made a comment here has the same reaction: Skin color doesn't matter, it's what's on the inside that counts. I agree, though Veruniel made a good point about the Oompa Loompa skin tone that may result from artificial tanning. Goths of all shades can be found everywhere, but the fake-baked orange look is not one you'll find commonly in the goth world. My point? Be natural, and put your genes to work. You'll find a look that suits you.
I loved teh oompa-loompa comment. It made me smile! whee
Anyways, you don't need to be pale in order to be gothy. I've met many darker-skinned hispanic goths, as well as a few black goths. Your complexion really dosn't matter...
What does matter is having the proper attitude, mindset, and whatnot. If you have those qualities, then you can be as gothy as Voltaire, no matter how you dress, or what complexion you have. All of those things are superficial. True gothyness lies within the heart and soul. 3nodding
