Sounds like you're doing the exact same thing. Are the majority of Brexit voters racist and nationalist (assuming you consider nationalism a negative)?

I don't think so no. I do think that should be clear from the text you have quoted.

your quote seemed to imply that it should come as a surprise that there are non-racist Brexit voters. As a pro-Brexit voter myself I'm used to being on the receiving end of that kind of inflammatory rhetoric so if that wasn't your intention then I apologise.
