Equally at your self-sourced list that proves people aren't racist.
People think they aren't racist whilst doing and saying incredibly racist things.
Vis. Pensioners sitting in Marbella calling themselves expats and voting for Brexit because immigration is supposedly ruining their lives.
The truth is that every one of the categories you list can be occupied by racists.
It might be the fault of poor education, right wing press, or not but the proof is in the pudding when Joan from Lancaster-who has never had an interest in politics or economics-tells an Aerospace company they are doing it wrong by relying on just in time stock control because BORDERS.

People did not have any problems with voting along with racism/xenophobia. I think the only way I can sorta forgive that is the sheer lies told by the leave campaign and that everybody made their own mental Brexit. So there is plausable deniability.
And now we have an anti freedom of movement Labour leader who doesn't get called out on that either. Immigration chat is seen as the Brexit voters winner. Loss of Brits rights and freedom of movement is seen as ok, cos immigrants.
Not everyone is ready to forgive that. But if is of course completely not helping the discussion if it blocks solving the genuine issues.

I'm not sure how you expect anyone to engage with people who are demonstrably a hateful bunch of racist, misogynist, thick-as-pigshit, fascist scumbags...
i'm open to ideas tho.
