As it is interpreted

Few white people realize that many black people today dislike and avoid spending any more time than they must around white people, This "integration" image, as it is popularly interpreted, has millions of vain, self-exalted white popel convinced that black popel wnat to seep in be with them.
(Malcome X declared, from 'The African American Oddesey')

Question: If I write as popularly interpreted without 'it is', does the meaning change or turn to awkward meaning? Could you explain how I should understand "as" phrase put in between???

Thanks...
