Yesterday you described Sri Lankans as being 'as black as your boot'.
Which, of course, they are. How is that racist? No denigration was implied, it was simply a description of your average Lankan's skin colour (particularly Tamils). I have no objection to anyone describing my skin colour by use of glib metaphor or simile.
