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.

Non-White, that's a very wide brush isn't it.
As my partner says, she and many of her friends chose Britain to emigrate to because the British forced them to speak English, if the French had colonised them she would most likely be living in France. She's quite patriotic, get's very annoyed with the soft British politicians, and get's very vocal about people with no historical connection or ability to speak English coming here whilst on the other hand her country folk are limited due to immigration targets.
She gets very annoyed about immigration in general, mostly because she knows of so many cases of people living here after making false asylum claims in the early-mid 2000's using false passports/birth certificates.
Black people (African) I know, generally see through the racist chants aimed at Farage & UKIP. What was different about this rant at Farage was that it wasn't from a white person.
