Or while the statement might be racist, that might be more to do with poor wording than with blatent racism - because if you take the words at face value they are pretty sweeping racism. Practically White Supremicist. I don't think that's what's intended - i think they just wanted to play up the special relationship we have with Britain - whatever that means (I think we've claimed a special relationship with most of the globe at one time or another).
