Make sure that your white lines (strokes) are converted into areas. Then you can subtract the white elements from the coloured area with the pathfinder.

To clarify a couple points made by @pixxxelschubser:

 

1. Convert strokes to to areas using Object > Path > Outline Stroke

 

 

2. To use Pathfinder on the shapes, use the Minus Front button (top row)

 

 

3. You can see that you can now see through the circle shapes. I put another object behind it to show the result.
