At least this has helped everyone identify the racists among them. Leaving might be perfectly fine, it just brought out the worst of people too.


I'm not British so I can't comment directly, but I find it troubling that "leave" supporters are being broadly labeled as racist. Why should UK citizens be forced to allow Brussels to change the demographics of their country?

Before you vote me down, you should know I'be had to change countries twice and have been of the receiving end of some nasty nationalism (mostly in the EU ironically, almost none in the US).


I heard a quote the other day along the lines of "not all those that are voting leave are racists, but all racists are voting leave". Subjectively speaking, I've largely found this to be true.


Voting leave will not change the type of immigration we have in UK.

Any immigration schemes proposed by LEAVE would probably see a rise, not fall, in immigration.

This is one example of the dishonesty of leave campaign.


Diversity vs homogeneity is a preference. Neither is morally superior.


Xenophobic would be more accurate.

And apparently anti-sex worker.

And sausages.


don't use the racism card so flippantly.

you're just implying there's no good reason for brits to vote to leave other than racism which is clearly bs.


So the original comment in this post chain wasn't racist? Okay.


Yeah, millions of racists. Just because we are sick of Polish kielbasa shops in London.


That's what it sounds like. I mean, if you raised the issue of different rules for shops, vegan ideas, of anything else, then we could think you have issues with actual politics. But you only mentioned the Polish and sausage components. And I since you didn't mention British butcher shops... (same with Russian prostitutes)


So, your argument against charges of racism is that you voted to leave the EU simply because you felt there were too many kielbasa places in London?!? Kind of an overreaction, don't you think?


Of all things you could be angry about, you are upset that you can buy Polish sausages in London? Really?

(...Poe's law strikes back...)


We are also anti-CE Mark racists.
