I don't see what him being black has to do with anything but is it racist in your opinions?

Making racial and ethnic minorities who achieve exceptions of their race is a classic racist tactic.
I will say his comments were stupid and insensitive. I don't know the coach to say he is racist and we may never know his intentions.
Sidebar: Even if his comments had racist motivations and he is a racist, it doesn't make the coach a bad person. Contemporary racism isn't about "bad people."
