Is this racist, pandering or genuine?

Mike Bloomberg says his life would be different "if I had been black". He pledges $70 billion to bolster economic opportunity for black America. He says further "Americans of my generation would have ended up with far more wealth if they had been white".

I do not know how to react to this. I think it is insulting to the African American community but I am not African American so I do not speak from experience.

If you are beautiful or handsome your life will be different than if you are plain average ordinary. That is a fact.
Being tall is an asset to a man.

Being friendly kind outgoing draws people to you. Being sarcastic insulting cruel keeps them away.

I'd appreciate your feedback. Is the guy sincere or just doing the typical political pandering? I have no idea.
