Swamped = Racism

Can someone please explain to me how David Blunkett using the word swamped can be considered racist?
For those who don't know, during a Radio 4 interview (which I was listening to), DB said that he was setting up schools for the immigrant's children whilst their applications were being considered.
This was an attempt to prevent some school and GP (and other local services) becoming "swamped".
How is that racist?

Just the usual race baiters in the country doing their normal...It was hilarious hearing that black MP, Abbot I think, talking about how the word swamp was synonymous with the word sewer..I mean WTF? Ive never heard that before.
My sentiments exactly. Methinks he should consult his thesaurus.
