That belief by him is racist itself. Persons of any race can succeed by engaging in behaviors that have been proven to lead to success. To define a set of behaviors that are more likely to lead to a lack of success as being traits of a race is the height of racism.
Parents give that kind of guidance in every decade, and it is resisted by every generation. But, he would tie it to race, which makes him the racist.
