I haven't finished this video yet, but its thesis so far seems rather absurd. It mentions a variety of music styles produced heavily[0] by white people (country, rock, EDM) which are not well suited to analysis by music theory, but then goes on to claim that music theory is about promoting "whiteness". This is a rather large hole, one I'm doubtful will be closed.

[0] if not exclusively.

None of those genres are produced exclusively by white people, and two of them are direct descendants of African American music.

I assume you've finished the video by now, so I look forward to reading your informed opinion of it.
