Because they weren't all in the category you're referring to, of course.
To misunderstand this (and apply the N-word to all of the regime's footsoldiers and helpers) is to fundamentally midunderstand how the dictatorship worked, and got so many millions of ordinary people to trudge along and do its dirty work. Or to at least shut up and try not to think too much about whatever they saw and heard.
I think we as a society need to stop trying to make everyone comfortable all the time. All it does is remove the requirement of taking responsibility for your behavior. You can't prepare the world from the people, you have to prepare people for the world. Give them the tools to handle uncomfortable situations.
To quote John Wayne: "I’m responsible only for what I say, not what you understand."
Heavens -- it had nothing to do with wanting to make people feel comfortble. Or walking on eggshells otherwise.
It was just a way of showcasing how vacuous it was, the commenter's suggested innuendo -- that the reason the internet's favorite word didn't appear in the title was because someone was too squeamish (or for other reasons reluctant) to use it in that context. Like the reluctance you're suggesting, for example.
When the obvious, but infinitely more boring reason they didn't use it was because it had nothing to do with the core substance of the article. It wasn't even about stuff from the soldier's grave, but from the area around it. So if it had appeared in the title, it would have been meaningless clickbait.
I was also, if rather obliquely, making fun of everyone's obsession with the word, and the extent that its very appearance seems to inevitably cause the discussion to more or less instantly start veering into silly territory (regardless of the topic what anyone is actually saying). As evidenced by this post:
It's actually completely irrelevant. The article wasn't even about stuff found in his grave, but in the area surrounding it. Had nothing to do with the soldier's status at all.
Yet it triggered all this weird, heated discussion anyway.
