He's a political scientist at a conservative think tank.
And no, he's not using "whiter" as if it were a problem. He's saying that different age, race, density, and sex groups becoming massively disproportionately represented in the Senate is a problem. He specifically mentioned "older", "whiter", "rural", and "male" because those are the groups that are the ones that will be massively overrepresented.
You can only infer racism (or ageism, sexism, or whatever ism bias related to urban/rural is called) if you have some reason to believe he would not be saying it was a problem if the skew was in favor of blacks (or the young, urban, or female).
