"An act with racial undertones"
Would it have to be a traditional, actual-real-dead-corpse swinging from a branch before the message is a little stronger than 'undertones'?
How about "In a statement of outright racial hatred, echoing some of the worst violence wrought..." etc.
Really, call a tool with undertones of earth-moving what it really is.
Second thoughts, maybe it simply shouldn't have been given the oxygen of publicity at the moment. The last thing you want it some swell of a minority coalescing around an incident like this and claiming persecution of a man/group with an opinion.

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
