I'd be willing to accept the race angle if someone showed me some concrete data about it. Really hoping to see a demographic breakdown of the vote on the BBC website or somewhere.

Based off exit polling went last night, I'm not sure how reliable or trustworthy anything would be anyways. I think it's just when you look at the numbers from here, the places that have had a lot of immigration voted strongly to Remain. Places that have barely been affected by immigration voted strongly to Leave. Seems that the fear of immigration had more to do with it in some places than actual immigration
