I’m not and wouldn’t say for a second that all Leavers are racist but there are a hell of a lot of racists who voted leave.
I am not defensive about the way I voted. I voted to leave, and the EU's open border policy was one of the reasons. Do you know what the population is in this country now? And what it might be in ten years?

I am for controlled immigration, if it wasn't for immigrants this country couldn't function. I'm the descendant of immigrants. What I am against is the EU's decision to let anyone in. Canada doesn't do it, neither does the US, nor Australia... they have a system based on what people can offer the country and I see now reason to think they're all racist. They have a proper system for admitting refugees too, just like we have.

There are vile people amongst those who voted to leave. There are vile people amongst those who voted to stay. This is not a black and white, they're racist and I'm not issue, it's much more complicated than that.
