Polish is an ethnicity. Discrimination against somebody because of their ethnicity is racial discrimination at least according to the UN definition.
> most people in the UK are racist because they were concerned about the volume of immigration.
Most people didn't vote for Brexit. Only about 29% of the population did. I'm sure some of them are neither racist nor stupid.
- repolfx 8y agoA definition of 'racism' that includes "lots of people who look identical to me have turned up and now it takes ages to get a doctors appointment" is useless and deserves to be ignored - which it was, as evidenced by the population voting to leave despite being told it was "racist" to leave a union made up almost entirely of white people. Most people didn't vote for Brexit. Only about 29% of the population did Exclude the people who can't vote because they're children or not actually citizens, and you get a 72% turnout, the largest in history. Your claim is worded in such a way that it's technically correct whilst simultaneously being wildly misleading (who knows what 5 year olds think of the EU, and there are plenty of stories of naturalised Polish immigrants voting to leave...)
