I see your point, but consider this...
Whites (people or European descent) are still the majority in the U.S.
If I was in China, and described a fight to you: "I saw two guys get into a fight"--you would assume they were both Chinese. If I said to you (still in China) "I saw the police arrest a white guy"--you would assume the police were Chinese. It's context, not necessarily racism.
