It doesn't look like he called anyone a racist. Look, I'm a minority and a place like this doesn't interest me at all. Not now and certainly not as I get closer to retirement. After a certain point (say 85%) you reach a tipping point where even if you wanted a diverse community it will be impossible to create.
I know this because I was a participant in my university's minority recruitment program. They reached that tipping point and didn't realize it. No matter how much money they threw at it the numbers went down every year. Minority (specifically, black, native american, islanders and hispanic) students would arrive freshman year and transfer sophomore year. While this is typical in the entire student body it was dramatically higher for minority students. When I asked some of the students why they transfer a typical answer was lack of restaurants, shops, activities, and community that cater to them.
A place doesn't have to be or do anything racist. After a while people self select and know where they aren't wanted or catered to.
It's interesting how having all universities become 40% (or whatever) minority is "diversity" but having very different universities where some are all white and some are mostly minority is not diversity. I would argue the latter constitutes more diversity.
