I dont know if its racism, I think its more closely related to good business pratice. I mean the owners and to a lesser extent the fans were getting screwed by players coming out of high school and being mediocre.

I mean most of the high school players that went straight to the NBA were terrible, except for a few. Most of the kids that came out of high school were either traded or developed when their contract was going to end or just ended with the team that drafted them. Its not really fair for the team to get nothing for their money.

Theres a reason the Oakland A's dont draft from high school. If you read moneyball you will have read how the A's GM thinks drafting high school kids is one of the stupidest things you can do as an organization. He believes this because he says the high school kids dont know where they are going with their lives yet, they might like baseball they might not, one cant be sure.
