Maybe on the level of that they're both human, but the white person still benefits from the system made for white people.
Edit: relying only on the dictionary definition is impractical. While useful it avoids the deeper impacting levels.
And in that regard, perhaps yes, the dictionary definition should be the only thing that matters and we can then agree on the dictionary definition of the system of white supremacy that keeps people of color down. Yes, lots of white people in poverty too, but again, they aren't seen as a threat, they're given the 'benefit of doubt' while people of color are shot dead in the same situation.
