Foreign minister, male admitted to racism so stupidly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

commissar

'foreign minister' is the definition.
(term for minister used in some countries)

'male admitted to racism so stupidly' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'admitted to' is an insertion indicator.
'stupidly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'racism'+'so'='racismso'
'racismso' with letters rearranged gives 'comissar'.
'm' going within 'comissar' is 'COMMISSAR'.

(Other definitions for commissar that I've seen before include "Communist official" , "USSR official" , "Soviet official" , "Party official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
