From the report in the paper, this seems to be the crux of the offence,

'white people are facing the prospect of becoming an ethnic minority in their own land'.

Is it racist? Yes, I suppose because it mentions race as an issue. Is it offensive, and should it face criminal prosecution? No, in my opinion.

I have no time for exteremist politics, but in a democracy I think people should be able to say what they want, but we also have the right to counteract their arguments, which very often don't stand up well under much scrutiny.
