There are very, VERY FEW "black and white" issues. Everything else is certainly grey.
Simple black and white issue? genocide. Rape.
Not murder, cause murder is defined as "unlawfull killing", which of course is predicated on what is "lawfull killing".
Everything bellow that certainly EDIT grey (had a little mistake here...), even if the shades sometimes come close to one state or the other.

Again agree although there are many cases where the facts are very very far from black and white

No absolute white, no absolute black in this world, but there are a lot of things that I decide to call "white" or "black".
No sheet of paper is really white, but from a certain level of whiteness, I will name some "white" and other "not-white".
The border will be dependent of my own subjectivity and the usage I have of that sheet.
And the fact that I say "This paper sheet is white" does not mean that I truely believe it is completely and absolutely white. It only means that all things considered, the existing, very tiny, black spots are irrelevants.
So, despite the fact that all things are grey, I think it is usefull to name the whitests ones "white" and the blackest ones "black",

I'd say it's mostly grey, but there are certain areas which are absolute - this is where ethics and morality kick in.
They kick in for some people more often than others.
Ten years ago I would have said "it's all grey" - but nearly everybody has some boundaries they will not or cannot cross.
