Firstoff, my own opinion - no he is not.
But if the media and those running in 2020, all point to things that happened in the long past - then why didn't they say anything while he was in office for 8 years?

If Biden Is a Racist, Why Did the Media and Other Dems Let Him Stand Next to Obama for Eight Years?
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans called Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. a racist for saying things like, "In Delaware... you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent." They said he was a racist for opposing desegregation. They even said he was a racist for referring to Barack Obama as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean." But of course, all those concerns were dismissed because Republicans Are Bad™. Biden spent eight full years as vice president of the United States, a heartbeat away from the presidency, and the media and all the other Democrats were just fine with it. More than fine. They were thrilled.
Now Biden is the Democratic Party's frontrunner for president in 2020, mainly because among the dozens of candidates, he's the only one most Americans could pick out of a lineup. "Biden? Isn't he the guy who was always hanging around with Obama? Yeah, I'd vote for him, I guess. At least he's not Trump."
And since the last time I typed some stuff about Biden, which was less than 24 hours ago, those same Dems have started turning on him. Now they're claiming he's a racist, and this time it matters because they're not Republicans.
David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon:
Former Vice President Joe Biden fired back at Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) Wednesday for criticism of Biden's remarks about working constructively with segregationist lawmakers earlier in his career.
Biden defended his comments, saying his point was he was able to get things accomplished even when he didn't like his colleagues' views. Asked about Booker's call for him to apologize, Biden bristled...
Biden has drawn flak from Booker and other fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates after telling a fundraiser a day earlier about how at least there was "civility" in the Senate when he worked with segregationist Democrats like Mississippi Sen. James O. Eastland and Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge.
