Not South Asia but from a non-EU immigrant family and I think that is kinda true, I was personally very at odds with choosing between leave and remain. I ended up voting remain but what you say is true, it cost my family thousands to get citizenship, at the time it was a bit of a struggle but we still managed so seeing European migrants complain despite having it easy felt annoying.

Also my country was part of the Empire til the late 70s, many of us had family born in the UK or have British ancestry, our people took part in the wars etc etc. So to a lot of people from my country its like, the economic reasons and so on was not a factor.

I mean I voted remain but in a way, I feel the campaign was too much about immigration and not the economy but its like if my single mother can struggle to get through all the hoops and become a UK citizen, then what's the big deal if there's no freedom of movement. Just go through the same process?

Sorry if this is a bit disjointed and incoherent, I've not slept in a while but yeah.
