Definitely not racist.

The rules for a minority culture are different since they are the ones not in power. If they didn't organize events like this, many of them would probably never get the opportunity to be around people of the same culture and background.

The majority on the other hand is almost always in a situation where they form the majority. Our whole society, from the legal system to the recognized holidays is built to accomodate the majority.

So no a minority group getting together to celebrate their own culture every once and a while is most certainly not racist. Although I will give you that a better term than "all native" could have been used. It's really a throw back to the old "Coloured" sports leagues. Maybe get rid of the "all".
