    So I'm not supporting any argument. I just wonder whether given the skin colour argument hating French is racist or not.

    Given that skin colour is a very minor part of the differences in various human geno-types then it's not a good way to be racist if you want to be either. Better to choose cultural differences to attach bigotry to, there's facts and stuff to back that up.
    I literally have no idea how to reply to you.

    So you now have gone from "brown" skin to the French to fit your racist argument.

    Isn't the majority of the European racial demograhic 'white people' though?

    Does that make remainers racist?

    Immigration was one of, if not the most, important factor in the Brexit vote.
    Yet immigration appears to have disappeared completely from the debate (both in parliament and the press).

    You can just see the sweeping away of that problem, under the carpet, over the next 18 months.
    They'll claim success as immigration falls (due to economic decline not rules) and then as the economy recovers we'll be back where we were with high immigration, only having lost 20 years of growth (instead of just the 10 caused by the bankers).

    At what point has Brexit been about the colour of peoples skin?

    You fooking racist bigot.

    Europeans will still have jobs in the UK, though there may be more Americans, Canadians and Australians in the skills mix.
