Thats the article, they barely use the word racist and almost exclusively from quotes by people.
Changing it to quotes kind of signals that they aren't really racist. Calling them inflammatory further signals that they don't feel they weren't "really" racist (they were incredibly racist). I stand by my thoughts that if white was changed to almost any other race would she still have a job? I doubt it.
