Rule Britannia or not?

Just read through this thread which has seem to gone massively off topic in the last few pages.

I can't seem to find any definitive reason as to why the lyrics of rule Britannia are offensive/racist and therefore why people are outraged.

I don't watch the proms so have nothing invested in it, so can some please explain to me what is offensive about the lyrics?

I assume these are the lyrics in question:

Probably because of Britians past or how people hate the UK but love sucking us dry.
