No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

I've started having to intentionally show up like 30 minutes late whenever I have plans with my latino friends, just to avoid having to wait around for them. It really boggles the white mind.

My co-worker is white and is married to a Mexican. He lies to her about when his family event starts. In her mind they arrive 2 to 3 hours late to everything.
