[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 111533, member: 95"] As a person of colour I think there are racist elements, I am of mixed origin (white british/turkish) and alot of the racism I have encountered has been from other people of colour, mainly from the black community; I have been called "half-caste" which is an offensive terminology to mixed heritage folk, I have had racism from white people but its few and far between from both sides generally. I try not to buy into the popular narrative in saying that only white people can be racist because of my personal experiences, I think certain there are racist elements but its no where near as bad as a America. On the Brexit vote, it did bring out racists no two ways about that, most of my family did vote leave but certainly not for racist or hateful feelings, it was more to do with the fact that the EU isn't a socialist dream but a neoliberal nightmare, and was also a two fingers up to Westminster.
