Actually, checking the figures further, the 10 least white boroughs all voted Remain. The least white borough that voted Leave was Barking and Dagenham, which is 14th on the list. The whitest borough in London also voted Leave, as did the 4th whitest borough. So the actual figures, as opposed to your imagined theory, suggests that the more multi-ethnic a borough is, the more Europhilic it is.
    1st whitest borough is havering, which is one of the cheapest to live in, IE poorest, same with 4th, bexely. Newham Tower Hamlets, Redbridge and Waltham Forest, also poor but with a non white majority voted remain.
    Third whitest, bromley, is as poor as redbridge and voted remain by a very narrow margin, 6th largest sutton, poor, voted leave, Greenwich Poor 68% white, remain won by <10%, Hounslow same as greenwich with 51.4% white, Hillingdon, poor, white, voted leave, Barking and Dagenham, poor, white, voted leave,

    Second whitest richmond on thames was pricier to live in than the previous examples by a half and voted remain, Wandsworth, Waltham Forest, was same as richmond, Kensington a very rich, very white neighbourhood voted remain by large degree, same with Islington, Hammersmith & Fulham, Camden, Hackney, Merton, Lambeth, Barnet, Westminster, Southwark, Lewisham, Ealing, Haringey and Tower Hamlets.

    The trend is clear, prices high vote remain wins, prices low, vote leave gains ground and the outliers to this include all the poor minorty white boroughs.

    BTW, you must be one of the very few who reckons that 40% non-white is not multi-ethnic. The national figure is 12.8%.
    Until an area gets below 50% in any one demographic, to say it is multi anything is giving too much credit to the minority's presence.
    Have you ever been to those boroughs do you know many people living there?
    Come to think of it, have you ever been to London???????
    I recently spent 3 years attending university in london whose side course in theatre included visiting areas of the city of varying levels of well-to-do at different hours in the day and night, I have seen my share of london's grime and grandure.

    When more than 20% of the "whites" are not British where does that leave his multi ethnic theory?
    Non british include american, new zealand, australian and various other anglo offshoots which I count among what can be called the british ethnicity.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
