Are Peter Brown's comments on Asian immigrants 'racist'?

Opinion

New Zealand First deputy leader Peter Brown has been labelled a racist after suggesting there are too many Asian immigrants in New Zealand.

Mr Brown yesterday expressed his concern after learning New Zealand's Asian population was expected to grow faster than any other.

Figures from Statistics New Zealand projected an increase of 3.4 per cent a year, taking the Asian population in New Zealand from 400,000 in 2006 to 790,000 by 2026.
