Any random rich white guy has the full backing of whatever rich white country he comes from. His white skin isn't magic, it is a flag to everyone else that he's untouchable because he has its implicit protection as a member of a white ruling class in a white ruling country.

Think of it like the US dollar! It's not a magic slip of paper that has value, it's a token with the full backing of the US empire.
