You just have to speak English to know which words are racist.

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.

That is a completely different scenario. In that case, a black person misconstrued a word that sounds very similar to a word that is a known racist word. He knew what the slur was.
He didn't know that a similar-sounding word wasn't related to the slur.
Has nothing to do with the "n-word" itself.
