I dont condone what this man said and maybe he needs to step down from his position...
Im sure if your grandparents used a word that today is Politically incorrect you would tell them so...or would you label them Racist...or by excusing them does that make you racist too (your own words).

I can forgive some era speak such as when some of the patients I go to see call me a dollybird, it's clearly not meant derogatory towards me and I completely understand its old school lingo.
However, what this man wrote was clearly racist, he has done it before and will carry on being offensive and racist while people lazily allow it and give him a pass.
