Think of the phrase “America is controlled by white people”
Does that put an image in your head of “the people who control America happen to be white” or “white people, in aggregate run America for the collective benefit of white people”?
People will use the phrase in both ways, but these are very different ideas.
In a strict semantic sense, sure.

Alright, thanks for elaborating.
I get your meaning.
