Context:
"The Hillary Clinton expression is the one that holds the photograph fully," Time's photo director told the magazine. "You can see 10 years of tension and heartache and anger in Hillary's face," Conde Nast's Scott Dadich agreed.

Turns out she was probably just coughing during that crucial moment captured by White House photographer Pete Souza. But nevertheless, the image still proved a bit too racy for at least one of the many newspapers that printed it.

@oristarA,
That is an odd use of the phrase.

I use the term "racy" to refer to something like a bikini that shows a bit more skin then it should, or a music video that is uncomfortably sexual.

There is nothing in that picture that I would call "racy".
