I think we're all a bit tired of people using accusations of racism as a defence mechanism to deflect any criticism. In fact, I think it's quite legitimate to question someone's ethnic and cultural background when it comes to national allegiance whilst holding some political authority without it being reasonably considered racist. For example, I've lived in Australia for fifty-four years and up until recently retained only British citizenship. Even now that I've become an Australian citizen, I can not become a member of the Australian parliament whilst holding dual citizenship. I don't hear loud claims of racism from British citizens with permanent residency in Australia.
