If the FAQ said “white people” throughout rather than “people”, then such bias would leap off the page—though it wouldn’t to the Victorians.
What would leap off the page is the ‘white people’ phrase. Making that explicit would be redundant and jarring. Perhaps even insulting. It should have been clear what ‘people’ meant without specifying color.
