Two in your quote, three in the entire sentence in the article. But “grey” is just the British spelling, and nobody says “whom” nowadays. Those aren’t really mortal sins for a journalist, unlike saying that a suspect is a black man. That’s a ticket to journo-hell.

Discribing the race outside of white; also,’black’ was lowercased. That was my two.

Yes ‘grey’ is British and ‘whom’ I believe to be the only word left in the English language that is in the dative case. Maybe the Brits don’t use it anymore anyway.
