Now some people will tell you, and there's a lot of academic research to support this (that voting for Brexit was economically motivated), but that's not true. Because if you look at the areas that are economically depressed, there's no obvious correlation. In fact, there's no correlation in some cases, between people who voted for Brexit and how economically deprived they were.

So some areas were deprived, some were right, etc. etc.. Its not the economics. And you can do the same thing with United States. Instead it correlates with Authoritarianism. And this is the, no, really they're all racist.

As a social scientist, I can drop all this and simply say 'Yes, they are all racist'. But if you do, you've got a public policy problem, which is monstrous.

Because if what's driving all this at the end of the day is a series of economic problems and distributionary problems we can fix that with better policies. And a huge part of the reason as to why there's been this huge wealth and inequality skew is bad policies. Its not globalization, its domestic reasons. So we can fix that.

But if it's the case that suddenly 15% of American voters are a lot more racist than they used to be, what do you do with that? Do you just send them to the naughty step? Do you tell them off? Do you admonish them?

Answer:

Do what Canada is doing. Its not easy to do. It'll drive down the will to live for many of your citizens @3$%

but it works, if you are aiming for harmony, and keeping racists away for the most part.
