A Jewish community came into Britain after 1066, until their expulsion in 1290.
Oliver Cromwell allowed their resettlement in 1656. Lombards, Hansa and other
merchants came for the trade, and Gypsies arrived in the 16th century.
The Muslim population in Britain dates back to the 18th century when Muslim
sailors, known as lascars, serving on British merchant ships began settling in the
port cities of Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow and London. The largest migration of
Muslims communities began in the 1950s, coming mainly from South Asia and
settling in inner city London, the industrial towns of the Midlands, and the textile
towns of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Strathclyde. As of 2008 there are now
approximately 1.6 million Muslims in Britain, making it the largest religious minority
in Britain.
The climate of tolerance also enabled communities fleeing persecution in
Europe to settle in Britain as well as other groups attracted to Britain by the
chance of economic security, often bringing new trades or coming to work in new
industries. The legacy of the British Empire also attracted immigrants from India,
Pakistan and Bangladesh in the 1960s to 1980s; they now make up the largest
immigrant communities. Many came because of the prospects of work in the
textile and other industries.
This history of immigration to Britain has produced todays uniquely diverse
nation. There is now an estimated minority ethnic population of more than 4

million, 7.1% of the population. The Office for National Statistics projects that the
minority ethnic population will almost double by 2020, because of its higher birth
rate.
Ethnic diversity has enriched British society; it is now home to communities
from every comer of the globe. The different communities have helped build
todays vibrant Britain and contributed to its economic, social, democratic and
cultural development. Prime Minister Tony Blair said, We celebrate the diversity
in our country, get strength from the cultures and the races that go to make up
Britain today.

Multiculturalism is sometimes taken to mean that different cultural communities
should live their own ways of life in a self-contained manner. This is not its only
meaning and in fact it has long been obsolete.
Multiculturalism basically means that no culture is perfect or represents the best life
and that it can therefore benefit from a critical dialogue with other cultures.
