> While some Brexitors are racist xenophobes, not all are

And the ones that are should not be called racist xenophobes because they they voted leave and the other 50.99% might get upset about the association?

The point trying to be made is that they are racist because they are racist - not that they are racist because they are Brexitors. It's an important distinction to make. In the same vein of thought, terrorists should be called terrorists because they are terrorists and not because they are Muslim.

And I happen to agree that Muslims shouldn't be called terrorists and not just because some majority % would be upset about the association.

Your arrogance is truly stagering. The EU is large institution and their are many reasons to be against it.

I would wager that I am far more pro-immigration the you are and I would have voted leave.
