There's nothing wierd about it. The camera doesn't know whether you're photographing a black wall or a snowy field. The best it can do place the exposure in the middle of the film's or sensor's range.
For photographs whith a lot of white in them, like an outside snow scene, you should overexpose by at least one stop. I like to use 1.5 stops.
Conversely, for very dark scenes, you should underexpose. Otherwise, the camera will try to turn the dark tones into middle grey.
