But Monsignor Oliver Lahl, Kasper's spokesman, said the cardinal considered
the matter closed following a Vatican statement that claimed he was merely
highlighting Britain's multi-ethnic makeup.
"Kasper meant to say there are people there from all around the world and
you could be in Mumbai, Kinshasa, Islamabad or Nairobi," said Lahl.
"It was not a negative connotation, it was the opposite of racism. He meant
the UK is no longer a mono-ethnic or mono-religious state, and can be a
positive example for Europe."
