Well, you're just making your life more sad and difficult by assuming the worst of people. Not everyone has a "equal racial representation" automatic filter in their head when they picture book characters. There is nothing racist about imagining a character as white. Especially if you are white, grew up in a white community, reading literature where, sorry to say, most characters ARE "white" unless specifically mentioned otherwise, as written by white authors (as in, narrators and white characters are likely to note a non-white character's skin color or facial features and basically mention the race, but they don't for other white people).

Do I think it is wonderful when books are cast in movies and do cast some characters as non-white? Absolutely! Is it racist to have an image of white people in your head? No.
