Is the BNP racist or culturist?

Is the British National Party (BNP) racist or culturist? As a western culturist, I have long wondered about the BNP. But, as a culturist, I also know that it is hard to understand a movement unless you are a part of the culture that it lives in. So, though I see stuff on line, I cannot tell who the average BNP member is or what they really believe in. But we Americans can gain from asking ourselves "Is the BNP racist or culturist?"
I do know that the BNP followers I have come across largely understand the threat that Islam presents to western civilization. They are culturists. They reject multiculturalism because it tells them that Britain – and the West – do not have core cultures to protect, guide and promote; they are culturist. And, as they don´t buy multiculturalism and culturism is the opposite of multiculturalism, they are culturists.
From what little of the BNP I know of, I have given them the benefit of the doubt and considered them culturist allies who, unfortunately, do not yet use the word. I INSTINCTIVELY do not believe the multiculturalists when they slander someone as racist. Here in the US it is used against anyone who would talk about immigration reform. But immigration isn´t race, it is culture. If multiculturalists call you racist, it is just because you´re pointing out that diversity is real and it is important.
Why am I hung up on the difference? Because racism is stupid and dangerous, whereas culturism is rational and productive. Racism also provides no good policy objectives. People cannot change their skin color. The idea of a purge is ridiculous and would lead to civil war and destabilize a western nation. It would undermine, not protect our rights. Racist thought leads nowhere.
Culturists have solutions based on the idea that Britain or whatever western nation we´re discussing, has a core culture and a right to protect it. For example, in sticking up for the West, you can stop the building of mosques by foreign governments and that can change attitudes. Sharia courts can be disbanned in Britain because they are not British. Culturism highlights why British schools should not spend their time teaching of the glory of hostile cultures. Also culturism can use the reality of cultural diversity to have police monitor those who go to radical mosques. This is not racial profiling it is culturist profiling. Again, racism is stupid and dangerous. But Culturism provides for intelligent policy based on the importance of culture.
I agree with the BNP on one crucial issue. We must stop Islamic immigration. Of course, the liberal multicultualists say this is racist. It is not, it is culturist. As a culturist I believe that Hindus make better western citizens than Muslims. That is obviously not racist, it is culturist. Were the BNP advocating it for racists reasons, again, the platform of excluding Islamic immigration would have lots of other terrible implications along with it. I would not support a racist platform or party. But I do and would support a culturist platform and party.
So the question is, again, is the BNP racist or culturist?
