She didn't mention anything about racism. I believe she was referring to the assumption that simply because someone writes for the NY Times, they are a born and bred New Yorker who's never been south of Staten Island. For all we know, this writer could have grown up in Mississippi and moved to NYC a year ago.
I don't think the writer was being a jerk - he was just reporting what the people he interviewed said. He didn't make the comments about the school's academics, the Russian students did. This article wasn't to be a recruiting tool or PR for ASU, just talking about the situation of so many Russian students coming to the school.
