I know several racists who voted to stay

They prefer white European immigration to the alternative. Lots of BAME voted to leave (without suggesting the reason they did so was racial discrimination necessarily).
I think one has to accept that the whole thing is vastly more complex than can easily be summed up. The alternative is wrong, insulting and divisive.
