Yeah. It's white speak for "those coloured folks" when they want to sound sophisticated and not-racist...

Another one they use is "people of colour". But never refer to their own as "people without colour".

Or in this case whites are those without race?

Yea, pretty much.

"We are the default human beings and those over there are 'racialized' others".

It's basically veiled, polite, left-wing white supremacy in the anglosphere. But without the slurs and outward hostility.
