I think it could be justifiable certainly, but I think it is a mistake.

It's not rhetoric. Discriminating against someone because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism. The victim being white does not excuse such behaviour.
It is not discriminating but trying to balance discrimination. Otherwise discrimination just happens anyway, that is the view and it is not without justification. And therefore the racist remarks are just empty rhetoric.
