Probably that "Indians" are stereotyped as being weak and skinny, and "Africans" strong and aggressive.

No probability about that and it is atopic I have discussed extensively in this forum about the perception of certain players as weak and incapable.
In fact there is always fitness questions about Indo players whereas even Cornwall is seen as big but athletic.
Wayne Daniels and Patrick Patterson stocky and athletic but Rampaul fat and unfit. Although injuries did not help him.
Hines from Barbados well built and not fat.
Kallicharan was racially abused by his team mates whilst being one of the best around.
So it was an interesting statement.
