I think one reason for his statements is the victim mentality that many people and especially some minority groups have today. If you act like a victim then people who respond in kind and take advantage of your victim mentality. Get out of the victim mentality. Anyone can do almost anything if they REALLY want to do it. Early in the black equality movements there were blacks who made sacrifices and didn't act like victims because of their sacrifices. They were seen as victors because they acted like it. The "poor me, poor us, we are born poor, we're trapped in poverty" kind of mentality is a defeatist position to take. In America we are not trapped by casts as in some middle East countries where is practically illegal for a person from a low cast to work in a white collar job. Here in America - if you work hard enough and learn to act with class then you will open up your own doors. Language isn't the only issue. It's your whole attitude and actions.
