It clearly exists, as dozens of black footballers who are periodically abused by bigoted fans can attest. Twitter says it has deleted more than 1,000 racist tweets since the match. Let's say, for the sake of the argument, that 5,000 racist tweets were circulated. It's not only that the racist tweets are the work of a deranged fraction of a minority, as I have argued. The truth is that there are no significant philosophical differences between Priti Patel and England footballers such as Tyrone Mings.
