Am I racist if I'm saying there are to many foreign people in the UK? I think in 10 years white people will be the minortity in this country.

I happen to disagree but you are entitled to your opinion. I suppose racism depends on a number of factors but mainly why you feel that there are too many foreign people in the UK and why you think that is a bad thing. There are benefits and drawbacks to immigrations and I do not think someone should be labelled 'racist' just for being against immigration on a large scale. With so little information it's difficult to judge you to be racist.

However, you are racist if you feel that just because someone isn't white they aren't British, by the way, although I'm not sure if that's really what you are getting at (at least I hope not). May I ask what is wrong with white people becoming the minority (I doubt this will happen anyway, though)? Britain has been invaded by many nations in the past and I think you will find most people who consider themselves 'British' can trace their ancestry to all over the world and hardly any directly to the indigenous settlers of the British Isles.

Willdabest: This topic is vary sensitive and easy to dig a hole for your self in. I take no offense to the term white people its just make sure you word things correctly. Here on the internet there is not tone of voice, facial and body expressions so people quickly jump to conclusions.
