-- as they should be. Notice they all came into being related to immigration and economic status it appears.
But probably, in general, the reason derogatory terms for whites are not considered as offensive is because they are not being spoken by the powered class against the disempowered. The terms above were, maybe that's part of where their offensiveness comes from.
