I agree. I also think that the more racist one is, the more likely the word niggardly will be perceived to be a racial slur.
I have to laugh when I think of what those offended must have thought. Did they think he was saying that the miserly funding was characteristic of black people so he used a racial slur to get his point across in the meeting? They must have little regard for this man to assume he would insult them this way.
