I suspect the word was probably not intended to be used as a racial slur (I had to look it up).

If it were meant as a racial slur, I would think it would have made more sense. As it is, it looks much more like a typo. This incident reminds me of an old George Carlin bit where he talks about the "7 dirty words you can't say on TV" - none of those, however, were racial slurs.
