It's perfectly possible to "care" about racism and still feel that your assumptions and estimates are potentially way off beam.
YES, racism exists in the UK. YES, those who prioritize racinated discrimination may well be included amongst those who in BB. YES, some may well negatively discriminate against an HM due to that HMs race; some way well positively discriminate due to an HMs race.
To pull a figure of 90% out of the air seems bizarre, however. As many have said, there are many other, generally it appears more prevalent character and personality factors (just look at the boards to see the level of importance they are given), which determine peoples' support/lack thereof of an HM.
