No one is calling the show racist. The reaction has been to his comments where he referred to it as the 'last bastion of Englishness' and that the show wouldn't work with a black character.
It's hard to see why it wouldn't work nor why it would prevent it's 'Englishness'. I am guessing that he thinks his audience would not accept it given his comments about a 'certain audience'.
