Wilson interfered in the affairs of Mexico and believed this was "moral diplomacy" because it led to the removal of an authoritarian leader.

President Woodrow Wilson:

Was determined to spread "moral diplomacy" around the world
Believed "moral diplomacy" meant supporting nations to achieve a democratic government

When he came to power in the U.S., Mexico was under the control of General Victoriano Huerta who led a very repressive regime in Mexico. Wilson used the Veracruz Incident to discredit Huerta which forced him from power.

Wilson justified this by saying that Huerta was repressive and so this fell under "moral diplomacy."

In conclusion, Wilson pursued moral diplomacy abroad but allowed racial policies at home.
