If you have access to Photoshop you can solve this (I do it all the time). put your bkg or bkg color onto the bkg layer in photoshop, then place your graphic over it and "magic wand" out the white. poof gone. That or if your bkg is a single color just replace the white with that color and insert as normal.
There is also a tool in powerpoint that you can click on the white and it will somewhat erase it, but I have found this to be VERY shotty and irratic, much prefer the PS way of fixing this.
Hope it helps.
