it is what you get when you keep on blaming the white people for all the sins in the world
For someone who constantly critiques others on being one-sided, you sure seem to be pretty one-sided yourself.
1.) First of all, it is the height of
blind privilege and entitlement to benefit on the backs of others for centuries, and then become angry when the people you've subjugated resist, revolt, demand better treatment and expect recompense for their disenfranchisement.
The white European elites and the establishment, who have primarily benefited from robbing much of the world, understand this, but there are other sections of white European society who feel like they never received the memo that they were "privileged." That's the elites' burden to bare and fix, not the disenfranchised masses. More on that below.
2.) The toxic combination of the most prolonged period of economic stagnation and the worst refugee crisis since the end of the Second World War is the reason for the rapid rise of the far right, that include white nationalist groups. Over a period of nearly 150 years, every financial crisis was followed by a 10-year surge in support for far right populist parties, as shown by a recent analysis of more than 800 elections by German economists.

a.) One of the central problems is that the European elite were the primary benefactors from Third World conquests. Yes, there were "trickle down effects" that allowed other classes of Europeans to live marginally to much better lives but the primary benefactors were elite European political and financial institutions. Imperialism is arguably the mother of capitalism and for much of Europe's rapid advancement, they were intertwined. And in hyper-capitalist systems, the lower classes, who are also usually more un/under-educated and stay that way because of insurmountable capitalist structures, always suffer the most and their lots in life only marginally improve, if they do at all. And though they may have benefited in a few ways from white privilege (in comparison to other groups, who may be more prone to receiving flat out discrimination, violence, etc....), they were oppressed by other systems like classism, which in their eyes or even in reality, neutralized any supposed white privilege.
Therefore, they feel as if they are in direct competition (globalization is real and has consequences) with immigrant labor, some of it coming from browner people from warmer places in the world where people believe differently and possess different values. The native, working/lower class people see public, government sponsored programs and initiatives directed at immigrants, refugees, people of color and feel as if they are being neglected when they, too, are suffering and not advancing. Again, in some ways
real or imagined, they feel as though they don't benefit from whiteness (like the leftist establishment tells them they do), become angry and resentful, and subsequently, regard themselves as "minority classes in their own countries" who must fight back.
b.) And they are right in some ways; the elites, the establishment, have failed them in many cases: by taking away their economic security and upward mobility via hyper-capitalist policies that are destructive to the middle class; by stoking their fears and feeding them hateful propaganda that actually work against their economic interests (Brexit); by allowing in hordes of refugees/migrants without addressing the concerns of the native people who were also economically stagnant and not upwardly mobile; by allowing in hordes of refugees/migrants whose cultures and value systems were a very real culture shock to a sizeable part of the demographic (older people) without adequate initiatives to ease integration and cooperation. Many people who form the foundation of these far right movements believe that their leaders and politicians have not voiced their frustrations over the consequences of globalization or come to their economic aid.
c.) When people are anxious, they make bad decisions. There's been recent research showing that anxiety suppresses neurons in the pre-frontal cortex region of the brain, which is involved in decision-making. Natural disasters and social disasters (terrorism, migration crisis) are increasing and when these types of things occur, anxiety forces people look for someone to blame, and often immigration and minorities become an easy scapegoat for a problem that is far less visible in origin – as is the case with financial crises.
It's far more complicated than simply "white people don't want to be blamed for the sins of the world," which is quite limited and one-sided.
