Personally being of Indian descent and born in Glasgow in Scotland, I'm all for bringing things into the open. However (and it has to be said) many people use vague & ambiguous statements, which, when they are challenged are suddenly not meant in the tone implied.
I'm not saying that is the case here, as I haven't read enough posts from the people posting yet and can't say about their style of writing at this point either way.
What I will say, there is no point skirting round the race issue as religion and race are tied together to a large extent - i.e. the East / West Divide.
In the 40 odd years that I've been born & bred in the UK, I've faced both religious & racial discrimination, but some of the 'solutions' foisted upon us by the powers that be are more ridiculous than the problems that they were supposed to solve...examples such as renaming Xmas holidays to Winter Holidays cause friction and resentment in the majority Christian population, who see it as an attack on them.
