I did  some digging around and found the quotation.  The comment was made by Matee Ajavon, a junior guard on the team.

 

"It kind of scars us. We grew up in a world where racism exists, and there's nothing we can do to change that I think that this has scarred me for life."

 

The context strikes me more as a normal reaction by a young person who had just been called something she knows she isn't.  It would not surprise me to learn she wishes she had phrased it differently after all the media circus built up around this one sentence from her comment.
