Whether or not what he said is true, its still racist. Talking about Dominicans, not educational system.
Is being from the Dominican Republic make someone of a particular race? I tend to think not in the actual sense of using the word racism. Especially if someone is referring to a country or geographic area in a general sense.
One could say that people from country XYZ are not well educated and back that up with general macro statistics. That doesn't make them a racist nor does it make those generalities or facts on people from XYZ's population absolute and pertaining to every single person from there.
