Darwin would not have had the same views on race today as he did in the 19th century, because his powers of observation and intellectual honesty would have exposed the errors of his ways to himself.
As for his not be a "trained scientist". True in an academic sense, but it wouldn't matter. His methodology would have been accepted by science today as it was then. After all fact is fact in science.
