There are two kinds of accidental racisms. The kind where the speaker means what he says, but does not identify it as being wrong. The second is where the speaker mis-speaks and doesn't actually mean to convey what the readers see as r

I think he's responding more to what was implied in the article, which seem a bit in contradiction to what was explicitly stated. No offense intended to you. I doubt you meant it like this, but I got the same impression.
