I do have those lines in /etc/vimrc but it is still all white when I sudo vi a file? What changes when sudo? Does it not pull from the global config in /etc/vimrc?
Most likely, vi is actualy an alias for vim. When you 'sudo vi fubar', the sudo isn't picking up the alias so you actually run 'vi' instead of 'vim'.
