What are these "subtle undertones of racism and xenophobia"? There is nothing about QI that is predicated upon race.

If it was explicitly predicated on race it wouldn't be subtle undertones.

I'd say it's more a pro-establishment than racist or xenophobic bias, but in the US the former ends up producing the latter in effect.

If something is not based on race, how can it be racist? That makes no sense at all.
