NPR has certainly painted it that way as best they can. "The older, white, less educated" tag has been the mantra there since friday morning.
Two interesting interviews I heard. An older white guy said in a factual tone 'We are not a multi lingual nation, it just doesn't work for us. Being told by another group of nations that we have to take X number of immigrants, feed them, house them, etc, isn't what everyone here signs up for'.
another interview, a younger Brit in his 20s, was disappointed in the vote. Yet when the NPR interviewer tried to take it down a generational divide, the young guy said "Don't really think this is a generational matter, myself. Remember, the older generation you're mentioning was largely in favor of the idea of joining the EU. It just didn't work out in their opinion"
