The media no longer ask those who know something to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.

She wasn't using it in the same way one would use 'Paki'. That's utterly specious. Suddenly her community has changed, without anyone explaining to her how or why it's necessary, or to be welcomed. A bunch of people suddenly aren't signed up to the same social contract she's subscribed to for decades. Her town is temporary to them. She's guilty of being a little small minded, maybe. At a push. Where they come from is immaterial, they could have been Kiwis or Welsh or from the other side of Rochdale. She's not a bigot, she just wants everyone to have the same relationship with the town that she has.
