Of the black people I know many of them like what Farage says, and the only one who doesn't and is voting to remain in the EU works in the banking sector

2% of non-white people voted UKIP. That's a bit of a distortion though as less people did over all (12% white voters did). Still compared to the other parties they do have the smallest proportional support from minority/ethnic groups than Con/Lab/LibGreens so her point on that specific instance wasn't entirely unfair.

I don't agree with her overall point/rant though.
