From this months Private Eye (http://www.private-eye.co.uk/content/showitem.cfm/issue.1113/section.fow)

"The little missus was away at a Tupperware convention, so I had to do my own laundry," Klansman Arnie Stevens told reporters outside his house in Pidgeon Hole, Oklahoma. "but I'm not used to washing clothes, and they say this has happened because I didn't separate my whites from my coloureds. A Cincinnati Reds tee-shirt must have gotten into the wash, that's why my robe turned pink. This just goes to show that segregation is the way of the lord. In laundry and also in life."

Stevens was speaking after trying to attend a Ku Klux Klan rally, dressed in a pink hood and pink robe, and being ordered to leave. "I only have one robe and hood, so I had to wear them. But the others told me to go home immediately, because they said pink made me look like a faggot. Unfortunately, my fellow Klansmen judged me soley on the colour of my robe. But I can't help what colour my robe is, can I? It's what's inside that counts."

I can only assume he was making a joke, especially since the first part seems to be a bit of a light hearted joke at his own expense. Nevertheless it was an incredibly stupid thing to say to a reporter knowing how the media always reports these kind of things.

By quoting his own words?

By quoting his own words?
Yeah. The liberal media are bastards for doing that.

Well the media are well known for casting a negative light on anything to do with Nationalism so this is no suprise. It could have been something as simple as a light-hearted joke said with a smile and a laugh, that has its meaning changed completely merely by the writer omitting these details whilst writing his article. Either way, as ive said above, it was an incredibly stupid thing to say to a reporter.

What could the reporter have left out?

However I don't doubt that it could be joke, it is too word perfect.
