This may be still understood as harsh as of now, and he may have put it in better way, but he's factually right.
So called "minorities" largely vote as a monolithic block. And if you believe they will, in majority, vote for anything apart from more influence, more benefits, and more special status for "minorities" (affirmative action), you'd be very mistaken. Just why would one of the parties force "diversity" so much - it's simply a convenient voting block.
You can see that first hand in some of the most "diverse" states in US, the voting patterns reflect the demographic make up in an extremely reliable fashion. There's nothing he should apologize for, apart from the tone used, as he's factually right.
As Ben Franklin said once:
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.”
