Your comment is confusing to me - the article is quite clear that when they say "white supremacist", they mean "a white person who committed a hate crime against Jews".

Doesn't seem very ambiguous to me.

Are Jews white? I'm one and I don't know. Until about 1980 Jewish was separate category from Caucasian on my school forms. I've been told by a KKK member that I'm not white. We appear to be designated as white for purposes of accounting for privilege. To some people it depends on whether we are Ashkenazi or Sephardic. So a hate crime against Jews might or might not be about whiteness.

Regardless of where you personally draw the distinction, it's clear what the article means when they say it. That other guy acting like it's a mystery where the accusations of white supremacy are coming from is really reaching.

From a distance, seems that "white" more often than not means actually "wasp".

What do you think the "W" in WASP stands for?

A ⊆ B does not imply A = B.

The answer was about to be a plain-and-simple NO when the Census would separate "White" for European from MENA. And then they cancelled that because people decided Trump couldn't be trusted with knowing some people weren't of European descent.
