Ummmm…yeah. Ok.

The U.K. is incredibly ethnically diverse. I was a huge Remain person, but not everyone that voted Leave did so because of race. Sort out your own prejudices mate and stop projecting.

The UK is one of the most xenophobic western countries. And left the EU largely because your white boomers are so terrified of brown migrants that they destroyed their own economic future to get away from them. Similar to Americans voting for trump out of fear of Mexicans and migrant caravans.

Sorry mate, I just wanted to take the piss out of your US defaultism, and this ridiculous idea that everyone thinks the man is brown.

I will acknowledge the U.K. has race issues, but it’s not quite what you’re making out.
