Jack Hart — the genial South Boston Democrat who resigned last week — was a quiet force in the state Senate, not one to spark much controversy.
It’s ironic then that his exit may serve as catalyst for an election that could send sparks flying, if it ends up pitting South Boston against Dorchester. That, in turn, pits the city’s old political guard against its new reality.

Hmm.
If you changed this sentence:
Hardly anything would say “change” in Boston like a woman of color leading the crowd in warbling Irish ballads in honor of St. Patrick. I’d buy a ticket to that.
with "white man" and perhaps "wearing a dashiki"..... would it be racist?
