Has to be a really strongly held opinion to write a book about it. He's probably not racist though, just like Rabois wasn't a homophobe when he was shouting anti gay slurs [1]. I interpret it as a typical conservative distraction, same thing that Tucker Carlson pulls every night on fox news: "protecting western values", "defending freedom of speech", "woke liberals", "antifa", "seattle taken over by radical leftist terrorists", etc.
He's a brilliant entrepreneur, an opportunist funding divisive politics to build and protect his wealth.
I didn't intend to label him a racist but to point out that one of their most prominent board members is a big player in right wing politics and has clearly used the platform to help elect the president, which might be the reason why Facebook has not banned political advertising and is allowing the president to violate their terms of service. (I personally don't believe that they should censor him)
