I suspect a lot of members voted against Sunak because they believe he shafted Boris Johnson, who remains popular with members. Plus, Truss did the whole Thatcher 2.0 thing, which appeals to many Tories. I don't think race played a significant role. In my experience, the people most opposed to Sunak adore Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman.
