The way I've seen them justify it is pretty much this:

A huge amount of entertainment media's (TV shows, movies, games, etc) characters are white, and there aren't all that many Person of Color characters of any importance in comparison.

White-washing "takes away" a PoC character from the people who would like to see more PoC characters.

Drawing a white character as a PoC artificially "gives" those people a PoC character.

They're starved for representation of characters how are anything other than white, straight, Christians/Catholics/Agnostics/Atheists/Undefined.
