Getting a definition wrong when dealing with a scientific subject is a lot different than not recognizing a common term as racist.
You have to have scientific knowledge to write scientific definitions.
You just have to speak English to know which words are racist. We all know them.
The dictionary didn't say it was offensive, vulgar, racist, or anything. Just a word relating to American Indians.

On January 15, 1999, David Howard, a white aide to Anthony A. Williams, the black mayor of Washington, D.C., used "niggardly" in reference to a budget.[2] This apparently upset one of his black colleagues (identified by Howard as Marshall Brown), who misinterpreted it as a racial slur and lodged a complaint. As a result, on January 25 Howard tendered his resignation, and Williams accepted it.

So the definition wasn't penned by an American Indian working in the dictionary office.
