to be completely honest this is because just like the Brexit campaign was motivated by racism the Remain campaign was also, to a certain extent, motivated by racism.
there are many reasons people want the UK to align more with Europe and not all of them are pleasant.
@ilcontealmaviva.bsky.socialI also wish pro-EU people stopped making the argument that Brexit was bad because it increased non-EU immigration. There are plenty of reasons why Brexit is bad. This is not one, and it makes you sound massively racist.
