I agree with you that she shouldn't have voiced her opinion on this sensitive issue given her political position, I also do not believe that racism is acceptable. However I think it would surprise you the number of "grass roots" Tories who also think that way, living in Tory heartland I've heard similar thoughts expressed many times from some surprising sources!
