Racism is illegal and as well as the editor puts Wikipedia in a bad position. If people can't put bigotry aside and instead try to force articles into their personal view of the world, it's right to ban them.
How is racism illegal? Racism is a belief system, and unless you have a regime that prosecutes thought-crimes, it can't be made illegal. Certain forms of speech or action that are racially- related, and perhaps motivated by racism, are illegal in certain places, though the free-speech protections of some countries' constitutions place sharp limits on the criminalization of pure speech without action in those places, including the United States.
