"Bluntly, no-one voted for no-change for racist reasons."
Fear of the rest of the world. Anything from the Chinese, Russians, Americans and one memorable comment that the rest of the world would gang up to screw us over. I get labelled racist for wanting border controls.
Unfortunately the bar for racism/xenophobia is so flexible it goes from the offensive to the general depending on who is using it.
"Plenty of people have expressed a view that people who don't look the same as them should not be in this country."
Yup. However I have read some pretty disturbing ones from remainers that they attribute as thoughts for brexiters. If we said anything like that we would be called racists (and some are as you point out).
"codejunky, doesn't come across as having racist motivations imo.
He's failed to engage with any of the specific questions put to him by myself and others, however."
That is far from my intention, what specific questions do you have for me and I will try to answer them.
