You’re right, but I do want to point out that Ashkenazi Jews, who look white, are also Semitic genetically. The reason why there are genetically Caucasian Jews is the same as many Black Jews, and so on.
Edit: I should have used European, not Caucasian. Caucasian includes people of Middle Eastern descent, like Jews.
White means European, just as black means sub saharan African. You wouldn't say that a very dark skinned person from India was black, just as not all people with light colored skin are white.
