I don't think its an insult really. Its stereotypical, and not really complimentary, but I don't think its perpetuating racial hatred? Most people in this country say f---ing Americans, or f---ing French, and noone cares. The language may be stronger, but has the same meaning as "damn Americans/French". They are trying to make an example out of him because he is the PM, but even though I have no love for him, I think he has the right to voice opinions that ordinary citizens are, especially in private.
