This is my experience of British immigrants in Spain who voted for #Brexit. People with no capacity for critical thinking. They voted for Brexit "because of the immigrants". Now they themselves lost their EU privileges, duh!
They were told both lies AND the truth & they chose the lies. Because they're idiots.
On the plus side EU has become an even nicer place to be because it's now less likely that you'll hear people like Greg from Winchester sounding off about the immigrants in UK.
@marcusjenkins along the same lines, there was a Singaporean I spoke to and he complained about all the migrants in Singapore. He'd moved to Melbourne to get away from them. I said, so you became the migrant.
He didn't appreciate that. He couldn't see the irony.
@peterbrown @marcusjenkins that's the official line, yes. Unfortunately Singaporean Indians are quite often told to 'go home' by their Chinese counterparts. There's also a strict racial quota system here for migrants that wish to become citizens.
Basically there's a bunch of racism that goes unreported because it has been "normalised".
