Mr first thought is we shouldn't blow this out of all proportion like you are here:

2 angry, irrational people making inflammatory statements based on speculation and skewed fact (the fact being that yes, there are some immigrants who try to play the welfare system in the UK, but there are many, many more who don't) does not equate to a racist majority.
Also, looking for an unbiased or onbjective youtube comment really is like looking for a tiny fragment of needle in a few thousand haystacks. I advise you keep them turned off in future, especially for topics as contentious as racism.
My second is that I quite like Morgan Freeman's general outlook which can be summed up as:
Race is only an issue if you make it an issue. (Note, that this isn't the same as culture. I generally don't like suggestions that people should have to comprimise their culture, unless there's something genuinely dangerous or offensive about the behaviour, but that's another enormous subject for another day)
In my experience (admittedly only 22 years), most secure and satisfied people aren't racist. I think most racists just want to feel part of an exclusive club in a bid to feel superior, a bit like cliques in highschool or football rioters. Have you ever noticed how almost all football rioters interviewed on TV are unemployed? This woman is probably like that, otherwise she wouldn't be ostracising people on a train, she'd be researching immigration statistics and UK policy to form a reasoned argument for a revised immigration policy.
I'm sure if you went to Australia or America you'd find someone somewhere who'd take exception to you not being from 'these here parts!'. See racism for what it is: A problem created by individuals, not entire societies.
