Steve Jobs is ethnically Syrian. Most people would call him white. The fact that some e.g. North Africans may fit the classic conception of whiteness better than many Europeans doesn’t dissolve every racial boundary therebetween.
Middle eastern and north african people are generally considered white here in Europe. Using 'white' just as synonymum for 'european-ancestry' is some recent US quirk.
If Jobs had grown up in (say) New England rather than California, there is no way he would be have been treated the same as white people there. He would have clearly stood out.
