Identity is a funny thing. I would have said that 'white' in the UK covered all European identities (including those labelled Hispanic in the US), but my perception may be skewed by having grown up in a University City that was predominantly white but with a lot of non-UK academics. It certainly never occurred to me to consider my Jewish best friend at the time to be anything other than white, though that may also have followed from a much smaller local Jewish population that London (I think, anyway) and possibly that his family came (I think) via Russia and Germany.
