It also says beet sugar is fine. Depending on where you live, beet sugar is the default "white sugar" that you get.

It also says some is processed that way.

Where does it say that? The complete paragraph is
>White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners.[2] For this reason white sugar from sugar cane may not be vegan. Beet sugar has never been processed with bone char and is vegan.[3]
which pretty definitively say that it's only cane sugar that might be processed that way, and beet sugar is "never" processed that way.

> sugar cane may be refined
Am I wrong to read that to say that _some_ white sugar is vegan?
EDIT: Oh, I see the confusion. I didn't mean any beet sugar was processed that way. I only meant to dispute the claim further up that white sugar is not vegan.
> White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners.[2] For this reason white sugar from sugar cane may not be vegan. Beet sugar has never been processed with bone char and is vegan.
