That's unusually candid. Usually it's phrased as some variation of "Black, Latino, Native American, Indian, Pacific Islander, or other minoritized* group", to avoid the bluntness of "non-white".
*Since whites are already a minority in many US states, notably California [1], and are on track to become a minority in the US overall, "minority" is being phased out in favor of "minoritized", "historically marginalized", and other flexible descriptors that can be relied on to exclude whites.
[1] Non-Hispanic whites decreased from about 76.3 - 78% of the state's population in 1970 to 36.6%% in 2018. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California
