John Cleese, racist?

John Cleese recently twited the following:

'Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city any more

Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation

So there must be some truth in it...

I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU'

Is this tweet a statement of fact, or the opinion of a racist as the msm and other famous comedians such as Dom Joly have stated?

If it is racist, why is it racist?

The truth according to the last census, is that London is now a city where white English are the minority and are becoming increasingly a minority.
Not that that is a bad thing, but it is a fact.

[i]One of the reasons I cannot stand twatter...it's a cesspool of arguments and hate.[/i]

Can you address the underlying assumption of your statement that in order to be English one must be white?

@DunningKruger It's nothing to do with skin colour and I don't think Cleese was referring to skin colour either. I think his comment was about mass immigration of which alot of immigrants first language is not English, or where in alot of persons, cannot speak English at all.

Those immigrants equally could be of any skin colour including white.

@DunningKruger Please see my comment below.

Each nationality has its own heritage, ethnicity and race. Very often the race of a given nation is common with that of other nations. England is no different and its race is white. That's not a value judgment. It's a statement of objective fact. Globally, there are four exceptions to this objective fact. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA. In each of these four exceptions, the indigenous race has been subverted (almost to the point of extinction) by colonial invaders.
