What this guy says isn't wrong. It's been known for a while that different races have different gene expressions that affect health in different ways. There is a lot of research in this field.
In the future, genetics will be so important that it will almost become mandatory to get your full genome typed in order to get the best possible care tailored to the individual. This is already happening. 23&me, for example, will give you a health report (and your susceptibility to some diseases) based on your DNA. This can really help with some medications which work for some people and not for others. With a DNA test, doctors can figure out what to prescribe each individual.

One example is buoyancy differences and its effect on the ability to swim well or not. But that's clearly racist.
