    Who cares what colour they are?
    Why is that so important to you?

    It doesn't matter what colour they are, We don't want them.

    Witch hunting "racists" isn't going to change that.
    OMG a word was printed over a white persons head.


    Ah hang on.
    Apologies if you were making a joke and I didn't get it.
    Bah joke's on me.

    Do us all a favour. Have some confidence in the great people of this nation. The most tolerant and racially inclusive society on earth and indeed in the history of the human race.
    Be able to laugh and joke about racism openly in the full security of this statement of fact. Or.. the joke is on you.

    Oh, I was not joking about the "brilliant" advertising campaign by UKIP/Brexit. It worked exactly as intended. EU migrants has nothing to do with refugees from outside of the EU but that did not stop UKIP using refugees to convince the population to vote for Brexit. A small minority of UKIP/Brexit supporters are racist and UKIP's campaign was to attract racists to vote for UKIP. Many non-racists confused refugees with EU migrants and voted for Brexit.

    I agree that the UK is a great nation but the minority do have the loudest voice especially on social media. The deliberate campaign to associated refugees with migrants from the EU was obvious. A similar campaign was used by the Nazi party in the 1930's against Jews.

    Here is the original poster and note where the one white person is among hundreds and then note where UKIP placed their slogan. The colour is not important to me, it is important to appeal to those racists voters in UKIP or why else would UKIP have chosen that position to place their slogan and why would they have chosen a photo of refugees in their campaign for Brexit

    I agree that this poster conflates EU migration to the UK, with the refugee invasions of Europe. That it is capitalising on an issue that is not directly related to the UK.
    But the two issues are linked. These migrants will not stay in the first EU country they arrive nor will we have any ability to refuse them once they are granted EU citizenship, which it is reasonable to expect they will be.

    It is emotive and designed to make you think. I have every faith in peoples ability to think for themselves.
    That you do not, demonstrates a contempt for people that UKIP has cashed in on and continues to.

    The minutiae about where exactly the words were placed on the picture? Over analysis.
    Reading things into to it that most likely are not there. Confirmation bias.

    Your prioritising of racism in the UK over mass migration shows a sense of priority that most of us do not share. You are the vocal minority who's voice is amplified on social media.
    Not those who are worried about mass migration.
    The conflation between racism and the concerns over immigration has stifled political debate and only UKIP has had the balls to stand up to this. The more you cry racist, the more you drive people to support UKIP who frankly are considerably less racist than the centre left party's in this country who capitalise on it explicitly with their policies of active racial discrimination in the work place, government services and universities. Not to mention their over use of it as a tool to demonise their political rivals to the point where racism is also now a subject no one can politically debate.
    The very word has become demeaned.
