White or Black?

I realize that white has a higher winning percentage but do people enjoy playing white more? 

All the openings that are fun to play (not necesarily better): french, benoni, sicilian, caro kann... are black initiated. White gets to choose (over simplifying, obviously) if it's a king or queen's pawn based opening -- what fun is that?

I'm curious if anyone else has this bias.

I honestly like to play black better, since you can define the sort of game it will be and avoid many theorethical openings/defences that are a pain when you play white.

I prefer playing black.
