Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'white' (referring to white people) modifies 'separatist' (a person who advocates separation), so the combined phrase denotes someone who advocates separation for white people. This adjective+noun formation follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
White separatist joins white and separatist to give a clear picture: someone who wants white people to live apart from other races. So it means a person who supports 'living separately' for white people from people of other races.
