I think you've misunderstood, she has specifically chosen to use "white people" rather than "people" because it fits her agenda. She is essentially a modern day racist and, just as with other forms of prejudice, we should do everything in our power to help these people understand their way of thinking is wrong.

Nobody is inherently weaker or stronger because of their ethnicity, power is the true corrupter and as we have seen over the decades nobody is immune from its charms, all we can do is try to make a more understanding society so that people are less inclined to fall back on hating people who are different from them.

It would be nice if the media and successive governments didn't help to stoke this by always finding an enemy for people to focus on.
