Preconceived yes, vision63 racist, in any sense of the word, never!
We all have preconceived notions about what people of certain races or regions sound like. That’s not racist, to me anyway, that’s just personal experience and conditioning. If you make a disparaging comment about someone because of the way they sound, assuming they are of a certain race, then it becomes a racist comment.
V63 was just surprised it was a bunch of white guys that didn’t sound like what he was conditioned to think white guys sounded like.

if that guitar sound and the drummers licks don't sound "pop" for the time as compared to R&B for the time, I dunno what does.
Throw in the high school horn part and they could easily be the Carpenters with horns.
They certainly didn't make me think JB back in the day.
K, now I'm a racist?

If you assume a song is performed by a certain type of person based on its sound, that is racist.

I understand perfectly, Vision.
When I was a kid, I always thought this group [www.youtube.com] was a white band. I never would have guessed it was predominantly black musicians.

I grew up near Philadelphia listening to AM radio in the middle 60s. It was always clear to my ears that the O'Kaysions lead singer was white and the Chambers Brothers lead singer was black.
And Fritz has it right, the song sounds classically "pop" per 1968 standards.
YMMV

It goes way back. How does it sound? Good is just good; regardless.
Listen without looking.

What made you discover that video, viz?
I was watching Terry Kath shred on the Tanglewood version of 25 or 6 to 4 and YouTube served it up next. I can watch Kath all day.

Not Terry Kath, but this group from Ukraine is pretty impressive. And probably the whitest band ever.

I mean, this was definitely an eye-opener. Plus this mystery song probably couldn't get made today.
