Significant proportion, but a minority still.

But yes it’s not racism alone, also confusion, selfishness, disinterest, spite, partisanship, a long list of reasons

I'd say apathy more than anything. So many people didn't bother to actually find out what was going to happen. Yes side messaged it poorly. No side preyed on low information, making it divisive and about non relevant semantics.
