There is, unfortunately, a common disconnect between intent and reality among many in the "woke" community. It doesn't matter what you claim, "its about" - it matters what is actually done. If I believe your soul has been corrupted by the devil, and I burn you at the stake to cleans you of the evil influence, I may very well believe sincerely that I'm helping you. My intent could be 100% pure. When asked about it, with your burning corpse tied to the stake behind me, I could sincerely say that my actions were "about" helping you. Good intentions never excuse bad behavior.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C. S. Lewis

I do believe using the sentence "be less white" is exactly that: someone earnestly trying to help but enshrining a bad behaviour of describing people through their ethnicity.
