Something is either wrong or it is not. If it's wrong to be racist towards black people, hispanics or asians then it's wrong to be racist towards white people. Your kind of thinking is both incongruous and dangerous.

No, it's absolutely not. This is a poor analogy. If we want to confront racism then we must confront it in every form, otherwise we're not confronting it at all.
Using your analogy, it's ok to steal from a very rich person as they won't miss the money or items you took or they can just replace them. Stealing is wrong no matter the financial status of the victim and this is absolutely no different.
