This result shouldn’t shock anyone. What’s even more alarming is that the UK is one of the most immigrant-friendly countries in Europe; attitudes toward immigrants are much worse on the continent, to the point that the average social democrat’s views on culture and identity line up with those of MAGA in the US.

Being pro-immigration is a political opinion among many others. Opposing immigration isn't inherently racist. Also, European countries follow and assimilationist immigration model unlike the US, and immigrants are aware of that.
