So many particulars. So many questions.
on the uneducated= racist thing you only need look to someone like albert speer who was educated above the formal levels BIG requires for membership of humanity, and considered a clever man. Yet there he was on trial at nuremburg.

Hardly getting over it.
At least, that's your un-evidenced assumption. Reality shows that the majority of people who voted for Margaret Thatcher in 3 consecutive elections weren't either racist, uneducated or deluded. What they were, was self-interested.
My counter-argument is that arguing for the presence of one or all of your three qualifiers misses the point, which is to look beyond the attempt to rationalise behaviour by classifying it as deviant - as you have done - and interrogate why such behaviour happens. The behaviour cannot be divorced from the social relations within which it takes place.

The gorilla kinda lingers.
I was just listening last night to this podcast about far-right tendencies in US Science Fiction, and how that's related in turn to fractions of elite US social classes that are well educated but also really fucking racist.

Who said half the country? Maybe you are thick and don't know it.

You can't have it both ways. You have been arguing that those very same people are not racists. Now you are arguing that they are and trying to say that's what B.I.G has said?
Personally I don't buy the whole 'working class solidarity that trumps racism' melancholy. It simply isn't true for many people not now and not in the past.

No he's not. This B.I.G idiot did. Are you familiar with the debating technique where you follow the logic of your opponent to their logical conclusion in order to demonstrate its idiocy? Great example of it just there.

But you're right I exaggerated when I said >50%, maybe 33% is more like it?

No, check their posts. Once out the non-league forum.

(my emphasis) What are you talking about? I'm not saying that at all, that's what B.I.G. believes if you read his posts (well >50% may not be fair, but between 15-50+%)
I'm also not saying, and have not said, that Leave voters are "not racists" either. I think dividing people into some binary racists or non-racist state is utter rubbish, bar a few far hard core ideological racists.

Wow, it's hard to believe someone could really be this bad in reality.

No I am not. But to imagine that 'most' people are or were like your grandfather is meloncholy and mythologising, it's attributing them characteristics that might not be true. B.I.G has been jumped on for doing the exact same thing only with the opposite characteristics.
