Much was made in the campaign about "uncontrolled" immigration, including the use of the Farage racist poster, how foreigners drive down our wages and take our jobs and bung up the NHS, etc. These were all racist allusions and there's no doubt that they pandered to a lowest common denominator of racist sentiment that exists among many people in this country. It would be unrealistic to suggest that they didn't impact the result of the vote.

Implicit in that is that you believe the inhabitants of the rest of Europe are a different 'race' when compared with the inhabitants of UK. There may be a few different racial types, such as tall blond Nordic types, or the more sun-scorched peoples from the southern countries of Europe, but I don't see that there is a distinct EU race which has notable differences from the UK race. How then can you categorise this as 'racist'?
