Both.
They can be male or female.
White tigers are tigers first and foremost. And just like all animals of their kind - mammals, you need males and females for the animals to breed and the species to continue.
500 or more pounds (225kg) but the average weight for a male is 250 pounds (110kg)
Nope. White tigers and white lions are different breeds of large cats. Just like regular lions and tigers are different, and look different (male lions have manes, tigers have stripes for instance), the white versions of each are also different.

Question is if you should, and if you have to. White tigers occur in nature due to a rare DNA defect. All captive tigers are descendants of a white male who was bred to one of his female offspring, incest and inbreeding if you wish. As a consequence white tigers in captivity are prone to health issues, and rarely live as long as their naturally hued "cousins".
The white Bengal tigers were found in Rewa, India, in 1951. The first one captured, a male, was one of four cubs, all its litter mates were normal colored. Once in a while, white tigers are seen in the wild, but they are extremely rare.
White tigers, an extremely rare color anomaly found in Bengal tigers, are not a separate subspecies of tiger on their own. All white tigers are descended from a white male captured in Rewa India decades ago. Bred for their beauty and as a token for the curious, white tigers often have genetic abnormalities due to the inbreeding involved in their ancestry. White tigers should not be bred for our enjoyment, as the animals suffer in many occasions.
White Tigers, as well as all other tigers, are solitary and territorial animals but they are also social. The male and female tigers each have their own territories where usually one male territory overlaps several female territories.
Tigers, like all mammals, are either male or female.
