I’m not sure that comment counts as a ‘moment of brilliance’. One could be a racist (whether overt or unconscious) and a Remain supporter.
Many white people (including me) in the UK have probably internalised some of the structural discrimination present in our society whether we meant to / wanted to or not.
It would follow by the pigeon-hole principle anyway if more than 52% of the population have some form of conscious or unconscious racial bias.
I think it was Will Self that said ’Not everyone who voted for Brexit is a racist, but every racist voted for Brexit’.
He has moments of brilliance.
