Criticism of Mass Migration that fixates on a particular ethnic group (whose immigration probably won't be that heavily effected by Brexit hilariously) and constantly stokes fear about how they are about to murder everyone around them kind of is a bit racist actually!

Maybe if a second referendum happens you guys could just set up loudspeakers on every street corner with a piping 18-year-old's voice repeating "racist" on a continuous 24-hour loop? Maybe that would do the trick?

Speaking of the other two, I don't see why you'd want potentially unlimited immigration from any country, muslim or not.
Seems like it'd be better to pick who you want to let in your country, instead of having an EU dictate it to you.

I don't actually care that much that they remain, I'm Irish. I'm just taking the opportunity to laugh at how dumb and racist the English are as they start to dissolve their own country and throw the economy off kilter.

You don't understand, Saudi Arabia has legitimate reasons. They have tribes and it's harder to integrate since their society is more closed and we have to respect that. Britain is claiming to be and enlightened, multicultural society so based on that they should accept everyone. Also they had an Empire and every nation who had an empire already has payed it's dues to those it oppressed and it would be shameful if they didn't.
The Earth doesn't have natural borders and nations don't have the right to erect any. Trying to screen who enters your country is akin to eugenics and most academia would agree with this.

All isms are bad, even ageism. That's why I'm choosing to be an ismist. Get ahead of the curve.

In 300 yards your offspring will all be railing against my conservative philosophy of everything being equal and awesome in every way. They'll take to the streets and start creating new differences among themselves just so they can have someone to hate.

Hopefully my descended earlobe descendants prevail against the skimpy earlobed.

is it safe to say that if they revoted today they'd vote to remain pretty handily?

Sure, but that would happen with just about any vote that resulted in a close to 50/50 split. All the people who wanted the losing side to win but didn't vote show up the second time around. That's why voting isn't best of three.

The key thing here is, calling 52% of the population racist means they stop caring when you call that one guy racist who does terrible poo poo. Screaming and writing off 52% of the population is ideological suicide, you might as well surrender to /pol/.

There, I fixed that for you. Unless, of course, you feel middle Easterners are too stupid or weak to express self-determination and are purely driven by animal instinct to become terrorists. Then I guess it would be fair to blame others for their actions...
