No, white letters (and white walls for that matter) are a layer of white rubber. Final outer layer of black covers everything except what is supposed to be white. Ever notice how old white walls look frayed? Is outer layer coming off, exposing more of white layer. Raised letters on inside (outside after turned around) are especially vulnerable to having outer layer rubbed off. They do stick out... That's why black letter always preferable to white letter turned around.
