It probably is racist, depending on what limits you impose. It may also be a good idea, in some circumstances. It's not in the least relevant to the Briatin of today which can't even see saturation point with a telescope from the top of a tall hill, and I wish politicians of all colours would dismiss this for the tedious non-issue it is.
That said, I had the nauseating (and thankfully rare) expereince of sharing the train this morning with two people who were being openly racist, saying that black people should be sent home, accusing them of ruining the NHS and claiming that Tony Blair only let them in because he wanted the money. I'd really like to have formulated a winning response, but I'm afraid that the pathetic best I could manage was to say to the closed doors after they'd left at Walthamstow Queens Road 'Fucking racist scum; why don't you go back to the 1930s where you belong?' Oscar Wilde I'm not.
