most Puerto Ricans are tri-racial with their genetic makeup skewing towards towards African. the three groups that led us to now are the indigenous Taino who were enslaved by Christopher Columbus, enslaved Africans, and as you mentioned the Spanish. i don't know a single boricua who identifies as white. i'm sure they're out there, but they're just not who i'm knowing. but either way, white supremacy guages whiteness by proximity to power within a color coded society. so like… even if Bad Bunny were 100 of spanish descent it'd be as you say, similar to how the Irish, Italians, Romani, Jews, and Ukrainians aren't white under the framework of american white supremacy.
it's also important to know that white supremacy isn't a uniquely western European or so called united states thing. the all time promoting white supremacy champs are:
The CCP promotes Han supremacy; it's literally encoded in the Chinese constitution that the leader has to be a Han and the deputy has to be of other ethnicities. I learned about that while debating with a supremacist to justify their ideology and the slogan "[insert race/ethnicity/nationality] for [insert any given place]". That is why lot of white supremacists look to Japan and China, to a certain extent, about keeping "homogeneous" and "native". But white supremacists conveniently ignore that China is ethnically and linguistically diverse even with 90% Han population making up the Chinese demographic, and the Japanese came to Japan later, with Ainus being there first.
What supremacists really mean to say is that "might makes right. We may have actually come later to the land, but we displaced the original settlers by force. We ain't gonna let others do the same to us." I'm kinda glad I am born South East Asian, there is relative harmony among different groups.
It's been a long time and I can't find the source now, although I distinctly remember reading the part of the constitution while debating with the said supremacist. I admit, either it may have been the party's constitution or China's constitution itself.
White supremacy probably not but racial supremacy is 100% true.
the Han demographic exist in proximity to power in a color coded society

here's a scholarly book examining how Han-centric views and narratives shape China's government
China is 70% or more Han, you can imagine they have a similar issue with their ethnic minorities but far more direct and unhidden.
Start by familiarizing yourself with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_minorities_in_China
The Uyghur genocide is widely reported on.
Also I did make a mistake China is 90% Han.
There is no freedom of press within China so you'll not see nearly as detailed coverage with official numbers as you will with other countries.
