Lots of people in the UK are undoubtedly saying immigration should be better managed, I'm of that opinion myself, but do most of the population think that way? I reckon you're over-estimating the British public there. Immigration is a major topic for many and an obsession for some, but I'm pretty sure similar numbers either don't have any firm opinions on the subject or couldn't care less. I think the recent election results once again demonstrated that's the case.

As for cries of racism, many people are open to reasonable debate on the subject of immigration, but many are also able to see certain arguments, individuals and political movements for exactly what they are. Meanwhile, I think the percentage of people who believe everything's dandy is somewhere between tiny and non-existent
Here where I live I've probably seen a "non white face" maybe once in the last month and had no interaction with that person at all. No one of a "non white" racial group has ever caused me any harm. On the other hand there have been some "white" people who have annoyed me over the years.

Why should immigration even be something I should consider, let alone get upset about?
