re: #161 Anymouse

One of the flyers circulated in advance of the referendum by Nigel Farage and the UKIP was a picture of President Obama, saying he ruined America, don’t let that happen here.

London’s new mayor was heaped upon with racist scorn by UKIP and BNP after he was elected.

The culture not colour argument really doesn’t wash, since the culture being promoted is “anything different than us.” (Muslims, other Europeans, &c.)

I heard interviews with a couple Leave-voters on NPR this morning; for one, his reason was pretty much straight racism, and the other, thinly-veiled racism.

“Culture, not color” is what you’ll hear in polite company.
