I struggle to deal with how whiteness is both part of me and how it excludes me.

White skin is not the same as being white.

I have a lot of white privilege but I also get excluded from certain aspects of full whiteness because I'm Middle Eastern.

That's not to say white people experience racism though, they don't. White passing people, like some Jewish people for example, do though.

it's often impossible to distinguish racism from xenophobia. E.g. recent anti-Polish accidents in UK, how do you classify them?
-
TLDR: as soon as you start emitting racially charged abuse you are likely to offend someone not deserving the abuse. :-)

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Offending people is not actually always a bad thing. Offending white supremacists is pretty nice.
