Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'white' denotes the racial group and 'supremacist' denotes someone who promotes group superiority, so their combination yields the meaning 'a person who believes white people are superior' without additional idiomatic shift. This follows standard adjective+noun compounding and is likely inferable by an average B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings.
Etymology
White supremacist joins white (meaning people with light skin) and supremacist (from the idea of being 'supreme' or above others), creating a clear image of someone who puts white people at the top. So a white supremacist is a person who believes white people are better than others and should be in charge.
