    I feel like I need to read more on this topic.

    What are the disadvantages of this? Why is there even a “No” voice on this matter? I feel like I’m missing something here…

        I believe that’s a little knee jerk. My brother, who is a real rough and tough redneck type of guy, is researching it to see what it really means. He wants to understand what implications could lay ahead when voting either way. To call someone racist for wanting critical analysis and clarity doesn’t help. In fact, it drives division, in my opinion.

      The official booklet provides a summary of the main points for both sides, each given 5 pages. That said, there has been a lot of criticism about how these points have been explained and published, so it’s not a perfectly balanced explanation from either side, but it’s a start.

      As you can see from comments, if you try to offer any considerations about the No side, someone from the Yes side will call you a racist.
