Regardless of weather or not I offend somebody, my religion and skin colour, am I legally alowed to admit to bieng racist?
I think there are a lot more racists around than people like to believe and I am not ashamed of it.

Sure you can. I think most people are racist in one way or another.
If most of the people you've met, have had personal contact with or have heard of, have not lived up to be what you consider your moral values or preferences of behavior, you will naturally dislike that culture or religion. That's a fact. And it's okay.
How you act out your feelings or frustrations because of this dislike is what counts. Not what you think.

Depends on what type of racist....If, you are a violent racist, who strives on ignorance and think nothing of taking another human beings life. Then, you will have a serious problem...
Being a mediocre racist, your options are open to embracing another race. Oftentimes, it is a complex form of racism.
Some do not believe in intermarrying outside of there race, religion, etc. Sometimes, it may be beneficial. Who would not want a cute pigmented baby? Growing up with a tint is always nice.

Sure, I see nothing wrong with saying you are racist, but to be a racist is a problem. I don't see why people should have any reason to hate another group of people based souly on race. I mean think about it, a person is a person, they are a soul, and a body. They can't help what they were born into. If someone is black, white, hispanic, chinese, they can still have the same ideals, opionons, and common intrests that are your own. Why hate someone that likes the things you do, just because they're a different color?

They say its a free country but people do get offended by raciest remarks which come in all forms from skin colour, religion, gender etc but I do get annoyed when people use raciest remark toward skin colour as some foreigners in this country are actually white e.g Austrian, Canadian, American, Australian etc so why don't they get abuse hurled at them because they are white I could go on but I think Ive got my point across

Yeah, you can say whatever you want. You just can't act upon those feelings. And I think your right... most people are but refuse to admit it, I am very racist and although I'm not ashamed of it I don't go around bragging about it.

I think it is more about prejudice and fear than racism. People don't like certain classes of people for different reasons, normally the ones that suit them at the time.
I know people that don't like those of us that have had a university education. Normally because they resent the fact that they did not go to uni themselves for what ever reason and see us as some kind of threat.
There are those that don't like travellers, those that don't like people who are well spoken. The list is endless.
Personally, I hate everyone equally. It makes sure no one gets left out.

You are allowed to say that you are a racist -- that is legal. But be careful if you put your philosophies into practice because at that point discrimination, hate crimes, harrassment, public nuisance may break laws and land you in court or jail.

It's not illegal to be a racist only to give expression to the fact.
Oddly enough the one place where the powers that be can't touch you is in the voting booth.
Remember that next time you vote

Of coarse you can admit to being a racist for sure, but isn't being a racist just plain BONKERS? Remember, you will have to stand up to social scrutiny to survive working and being a part of multiracial / multicultural Britain.
