The result of Brexit was decided on the issue of immigration, lots of ignorant people voted for an exit although ultimately the vote wouldn't affect immigration either way. I can't say I approve of the EU's shade but if I'm honest, I can't say it's wrong. Pointing out the rise of neo-nazism in Germany doesn't lessen the rise in hate crime here as a result of Brexit.

The Oxford English dictionary defines race as a group of persons connected by common descent. That's good enough for me.
Everyone who doesn't share your pessimistic view is deluded then?
