He was allowed to say it. He didn't get jailed for those views.
You seem to be suggesting that freedom of speech means you cannot be criticised for anything you say. I also have the freedom to tell you that your view is basically unacceptable in civilised society.
Perhaps he does feel those things you say, but he didn't articulate those things and simply STARTED his complaint with the colour of their skin. If you ARE racist, I suggest you creep your racism into your argument gradually, rather than sledgehammering it into someone's face in almost the first sentence. Because it's only human nature to not wish to listen further to unsubstantiated bollocks when one hears it.
You're complaining that he was shut down... well, he had the opportunity to not be shut down by speaking a balanced nuanced opinion, based on facts and figures, which (and this is crucial) someone else actually wanted to hear. Instead he complained about all the brown people from the European union, which was not only very racist but also obviously factually incorrect.
Freedom of speech does NOT guarantee a captive audience of more intelligent, better educated people than you being forced to listen to your utterly heinous bullshit.
