Crossword Genius

Mocking its racial confusion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satirical

'mocking' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'its racial confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'its'+'racial'='itsracial'
'itsracial' anagrammed gives 'SATIRICAL'.

(Other definitions for satirical that I've seen before include "Ironic - sarcastic" , "Mocking" , "taunting?" , "Describing irreverent humour" , "Ridiculing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
