Guest, James -

It would be ideal if immigrants can become British while maintaining their ethnic identity (including their language). That means that all of the different cultural groups respect the holidays and traditions of the others.

The idea of abolishing Remembrance Day because it might be offensive to certain minorities is absurd.

It is easy to tar just about anyone with the "racist brush" because most of us do have an ethnocentric way of looking at things and it takes alot of awareness to be careful not to offend. On the other hand, I have found that those that are quick to pull the "race card" are often racist themselves. Its an easy way to put people down and end discussion.
