In what way has she been restricted from describing her feelings?

"Unacceptable"? ... says who?
"Free"? The very fact that you've read it in a newspaper suggests to me that our society is fairly free, actually.
"Reality"? ... no, it was the opinion of an overprivileged, reactionary snob who claims to have been frightened by seeing brown people in "her" country.
So much was it "her" country, that she was actually lost.

Older people sometimes have a point of view based on the times they were younger, I once (recently) heard an elderly women refer to a black bloke as a fuzzy wuzzy, something that was common in the fifties.
