So he's going to try to use racism (and this virus that according to some, is a scam), to oust a social media app that he doesn't like. Just what a dictator would do.

I don’t know where you got racism from this. Tiktok is verifiably spyware. It’s also likely to be banned in Australia and England, possibly other European countries too. The app is a huge security risk, and is already forbidden on phones used inside the DOJ.
