Get up out of that so I can take one more punch at you!
Sadly, Everett would need to wait for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for this landlord’s behavior to be federally illegal. It’s unclear what state Mr. True lives in (besides anger, obviously).

Race suicide?
Yeah, I was hoping that maybe back then the term was meant to refer more to the “human race”, so a concern about population growth.
But some quick googling indicates the eugenics-meaning version of the term was coined around 1900. Honestly not a good look for Everett.
I mean, he's punching a guy he thinks believes that, not espousing the belief
I thought this at first too, but what he's accusing the guy of is wanting him to kill his children, so associating it with race suicide makes it more like one of his beliefs not the other guy's (ie. "you want me to kill my children, you must be someone who's in favor of race suicide - which I believe in!" )
