St. Patrick's Day is a Christian i.e. religious based celebration. (The "Saint" part might have given that away). Whether or not Christianity is a "White" religion or not is another matter.
Halloween's history is debatable. i.e. Pagan vs Christian. Paganism may be considered a "White" thing but I don't think that Halloween is considered pagan in the USA.
If you are going to head down this route, then Christmas & Easter would also fall into your classification.
Yet here in contemporary USA, I don't think anyone would identify any of these as "White" holidays. They are clearly parts of Western Civilization which is the basis of society that we live in.
