I guess this question will sound really stupid, but i have to ask it: If a song uses only white keys for melody, how do u know is that song written in C major or A minor?

On the white keys, it could be C major (Ionian mode) or it could be A minor (Aeolian mode).
Or it could be <insert the other modes>
It depends on the tonal center.
