Should the BR have been called out because she slid into the white or does it not matter what bag they slid into?

That has already been answered. It is an appeal play the defense must properly appeal. The umpire cannot just call the runner out for going to the wrong portion of the base, the defense must appeal it prior to the runner returning to the base. If the runner never left the base to begin with, there is nothing to appeal.

RK's answer is exactly right... is there a reason you have to not believe him?

Sliding into the base or running into it is no difference in the rules, except that the runner stays on the base, (presumably ).

The "turning to go to second base" is not part of the rule.
Neither is the wording "avoid a collision"; although that is the result.
The rule is only about whether there is a play on the BR at 1st.
