I think scare quotes are quotes that are used ironically (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes). I guess the implication OP was picking up on was rather than referring to an actual quote of someone calling him a hero, that the news article was poking fun at this “so-called hero.”
As for the conspiracy, I’m not totally sure. Maybe we can see it as an attempt to delegitimize the hero’s actions (because he’s a minority??)? But there doesn’t seem to be too much evidence to support that from just the image, so we’d have to read the article.
Oh look another logical use of English we can pretend is a conspiracy or something. Can someone tell me what the fuck a “scare” quote is btw?
“👻”
Seemingly something people point out to try and make themselves seem smarter than they are.
