To me racism has to have a harmful and negative effect on the victim. I would call that a racial comment, i.e. pertaining to race, like a Polish joke, or Italian joke, or in Texas an Aggie joke, or even a blonde joke. Some are funny, some are insulting, some can even be hurtful, but under normal circumstances they do not injure or hurt the group, but I will grant you that they can be micro-aggressions that over time can seep into society and affect how we look at a group leading to discrimination and damage.
These comments about white people are really negative comments about minorities, in the they try to take away the rights of minorities to complain about racism by equating racism against white to the real and harmful racism they have for centuries dumped on minorities and women.
