Our close EU friends like the French may well use Brexit as the catalyst to remove the barriers to migration to the UK, i.e. move their problems onto the British.
Where I think the racism comes in, at least in the United States, is when people starting generalizing all illegal immigrants as rapists and criminals.

Heaven has a wall a gate and very strict immigration.
Hell has open borders and just lets anyone in.
Think about that for a sec.
But some old guys in the middle east made that up thousands of years ago. Think about that.
Still rings true. Open borders means hell.

The real question is why is the west more accepting then the rest of the world? I feel like other countries would be far less accepting of different cultures and races migrating at such massive numbers.
Do you see Asian, Muslim and African nations trying to replace their homogeneous populations with Caucasians or ANY other race? Only dumbasses in the West do that. I can just imagine those Peace loving Arabs opening their borders to Christian and Jewish asylum seekers.
Except for the EU yes I agree.

As an aside just remind all the Brexiteers that Britain has NEVER lost control of its borders.
Yeah, you'd probably get totally shunned by the Trump admin, by not being assigned a US ambassador to Germany.

Can you quote where someone said that?
The UK has already confirmed that anyone living and working here will get protected status, something which I was pleased about because I have many EU friends who I love dearly.

Is it already clear how the EU workers and UK workers permit and visa will be handled?
I can imagine that this could cripple the work environment for those in both countries. I´m not up-to-date in this topic but I know someone who works in the UK on a regular basis. Have not seen him in a while, though.
Britain will kick you out if you are illegal regardless of race. A white Australian will be deported if they are found working or overstaying their visa just as quickly as an Indian national.

To answer the OP, that is when I think defending your border turns racists; when you start generalizing your racism as talking points and excuses.
