If all words are totally fluid then what is the alternate meaning of "homophobic"? Is there one where straight people are included too?
No, because "homo" specifically refers to "homosexual" in that instance. You'd have to use the word "heterophobia" to specify straight people.
"Racism" is based off the word "race." White people are still a race and are included in that category by default. You can't redefine "race" to mean "all races but white people."
Look up the origin of the word. The concept of race as we know it today was invented by Europeans as a result of colonialism. It was a way of trying to scientifically prove that Europeans were superior, the very concept of "race" was intended to classify and dehumanize all others while "white" was supposed to be the standard and default to which all others were compared.

But, but...DON'T THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED.
All those years they spent on top in mansions! Just to be treated like this!
There's no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is a socially constructed idea. People of color cannot be racist. They can discriminate against white people (what most of you would consider "being racist"), but racism is systematic and institutionalized. Watch this:
