i think instead of trying to identify behaviors which are Bad and then establish codes of social consequence for engaging in those behaviors, we should identify the material violence that racism enables and think about how certain behaviors directly relate to that violence. in the case of white people talking black, the violence is white people's willing incomprehension of black people, as well as the (predominantly but not exclusively white) culture industry's exploitation of blackness for profit.
