  Abstract:  The Americans have adopted the ‘melting pot’ approach to this issue, where ethnic minorities have been encouraged to become integrated into the American society. Recent surveys suggest that many people in Britain are optimistic about race relations. The political Left has welcomed the influx of other nationals. Still, immigrants have not been encouraged to blend into and become assimilated by the British culture. For the political Right, immigration remains a heated subject: immigration must be halted to defend the British way of life; otherwise, the British identity has to be redefined. The Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi communities are the focus of this paper. The changes within these communities are many in number and complex in nature.
