Everything that Kennedy said amounts to informed speculation, and it’s a real stretch to try and find a racist motive. From Lance Welton at unz.com:
Okay. The Democrat/ Media Complex is trying to destroy Robert F. Kennedy, and smother in the crib his chances of being the party’s nominee for president, this time because he has speculated (in a supposedly off-the-record meeting) that the clear racial differences in susceptibility to Covid-19 may have been due to genetic differences. And not only that, he also speculated that the Chinese may have deliberately engineered the virus to be less harmful to Northeast Asians (formerly known as Orientals) than to other races. My take as a veteran of the Covid Race Wars: Kennedy’s speculation—and he made it clear he was speculating—was completely reasonable. The reaction to him is crazy, when not actually deliberately unfair. Our Ruling Class’s behavior during Covid was a scandal and a disgrace. This is just the latest example.
The story was broken (see off-the-record, above) by the famously impartial New York Post:
In RFK’s words, Covid was a bioweapon and, “there’s an argument that it is ethnically targeted. Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately. The races that are most immune to Covid-19, because of the . . . genetic structure . . . the genetic differentials among different races . . . of the receptors . . . of the A2 receptor . . . Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” He adds that “we know” that the Chinese, and Americans, are developing ethnic bioweapons.

You can judge how fair this summary is by watching the whole thing (warning: the captions are terrible):
I give him credit, he is mainstreaming topics that I thought it would take years to penetrate the hive.
You see, when a nation threatens another nation the people of the latter forget their factionalism, their local antagonisms, their political differences, their suspicions of each other, their religious hostilities, and band together as one unit. Leaders know that, and that is why so many of them whip up wars during periods of national crisis, or when people become discontented and angry. The leaders stigmatize the enemy with every vice they can think of, every evil and human depravity. They stimulate their people’s natural fear of all other men by channeling it into a defined fear of just certain men, or nations. Attacking another nation, then, acts as a sort of catharsis, temporarily, on men’s fear of their immediate neighbors. This is the explanation of all wars, all racial and religious hatreds, all massacres, and all attempts at genocide.
