"It is a very white crowd"


This is quite something:


The BBC reporter in question is Geeta Guru-Murthy. Was she trying to elicit a racist answer?

Julia Hartley-Brewer's comments on the matter are germane:
BBC reporter to Brexiteers celebrating in Parliament Square: “It’s a very white crowd”. When she reports at the Notting Hill Carnival, does she point out the “very black crowd” to the people she interviews too? 
And does the reporter also not understand that Brexit will limit immigration from largely *white* EU countries do has bugger all to do with skin colour anyway? 
Oh, and this is the only country in the world where the national flag is seen as a symbol of division not unity.
