Pointing out the fact of white privilege and the fact that wealth often flows through generations in families is not a racist statement.

Designating a group of people by the color of their skin is racist.
No, that's not what racism is. Racism is saying that a group is less human because of their skin tone or heritage. I am not saying that white people are less human; I am saying that they enjoy privileges in America that other racial or ethnic groups do not. This is not racism.
Nope, racism is saying that such group is better or worse in some way.

Now, are you saying that white people in 21st century America are enjoying something they don't have a right to have?
