This is only the case if you substitute "white" with "European", which I guess is one way to resolve the ambiguity, in the same way that one might say that only office chairs are chairs, to resolve the ambiguity about what a chair is. But other people (e.g. a manufacturer of non-office chairs) would have a problem with that redefinition.
Ya it's hard to be sure that when people express disdain and/or hatred of "white" people that they are or aren't including arabs. /rolleyes

It depends on where those people expressing their disdain/hatred are, and their own cultural views on who is considered to be 'white'. In Russia, for example, white supremacists do not accept Caucasians as white, and they may be targeted with hate crimes.
