Yes, according to the radical left, it is very bad to be white. That makes you an oppressor. It makes you rich, it makes you privileged, it makes any problems you might have inconsequential. If you're "white trash", you're ignorant and pathetic on top of all of that.
But this white/not white binary is distinctly American.
I am also an olive skinned Jew who people assume to be anything and everything, from Portuguese to Lebanese to Brazilian.
I suppose I am Caucasian, because I am not the other two traditional choices. But that is very outdated. I've never considered myself white, even when white was good. I've always ticked off the "other" box.
If you want to consider yourself white, that's fine. My dark brown Armenian friend considers himself white, even though he left France due to racism. I'm far paler than he is and do not. We joke about it. It's a bit complicated for us "other ethnics" with Caucasian features.
I just say I'm "off-white" and no one argues with me, probably because they don't want to be accused of some sort of micro-aggression.

I am not Jewish but have Jewish relatives, all of whom leaned Left politically. I have told them for years that they are asking for trouble by aligning themselves with the Left. The Left exploits Jews just as they exploit blacks. They want your votes but don’t care about you. Communists will quickly turn on Jews. And as we have seen, American Democrats have a seething hatred for Jews.
Like it or not, the best friends the Jewish people and Israel have are American conservatives. I know it is a shock to many Jews to even think about that, but you have to get past your prior assumptions. It’s not the conservative or evangelical or Catholic students who are hassling Jewish students on college campuses & tearing down posters with hostages’ pictures on them. Actions speak louder than words.
That's just not true. Conservatives might support Israel - but they are not our friends on anything else.
Biden is doing a good job with Israel.
Great, keep your head buried in the sand. You are as gullible as a beaten wife who thinks her husband really loves her. Biden is a figurehead who pretends to back Israel but tells THEM to calm down & be careful of hurting civilians! Your own stubborn hubris will be your downfall. 100% of people chanting “From the river to the sea” voted Democrat. Yeah, side with them. Smart move.

It's nuts.
Jews are white people, many of whom pretend to be non-whites so they can join the anti-white pile-on. Many actual non-whites go along with the charade.
Well, clearly white supremacists don't think they're white, judging by the tweet and the conspiracy theory behind it.
But if you're on the younger side, I can confirm that Jews were absolutely not considered white until around twenty years ago, when being white became a bad thing. As you can see from the comment you responded to, Jews are whatever people deem to be a negative. Jews might might not have been considered "people of color" (that term is a relatively new one), but they were considered "other" than white.
Oh but don't you see - we're both white and not white, depending on who is looking. To the far left, we're white - which is why it was OK for Hamas to slaughter lots of Jews. Because they're white - and the slaughterers are brown. So it must be that the killers were justified. Israel, to them, is a white colonialist state - and so anything, literally anything, that the people they view as the colonized do to tear down the state is just fine.
Also, Jews can't possibly feel afraid or persecuted or attached as a group because we're just white.
But to the people who belong to the "Jews won't replace us" part of the anti-semitism movement - we're ethnic, but sneaky ethnic. We're trying to *pass* as white but we aren't white - and we must be stopped.
