It's not hate speech to call them out on that bigotry.

Its not the entire story though. It's akin to Jacques Parizeau after he lost the referendum in Quebec to separate. There are some parts of England that voted to leave which are comprised of significant populations of people from Bangladesh/India and South Asia. Maybe they bought the line that the leave campaign was selling, but that has nothing to do with race.

Then why even mention what race they are. I really don't care personally, and its not like I'm offended at all. I just think its distasteful to say "it's because of this race" when there is no way that would (nor should) be tolerated in any other discussion.
