Black American here.
So let me get this straight...
England is currently taking in a bunch of immigrants unwantingly and its affect life of its people in a bad way and they aren't currently able to stop this while being in the EU...
They make a decision to end this so they fix themselves up and regain their freedom to make whatever decisions they want on their own and not to EU...
Thus they vote to leave and get the result. Now people are saying this is all because of racism...
I see nothing racist about this. This is a nation trying to make themselves better. How did young voters not see this?
I need more background on this. Is there a few sources I can read up on this?

I went to sleep just after the Swindon vote was announced. When I went to sleep it was 51 Remain, 49 Leave.
I wake up, and get the nerve to open BBC News app on my phone, expecting the worst. Then I see, "Cameron Resigns after Brexit vote" and I just audibly reacted like I do when England score.
Motor industry reacts.
No knee jerks, just get a trade deal.

Wait holy fuck. Cameron ACTUALLY resigned? Is he that much of a little bitch? What now?
