Well said Honeybun.
I do not consider myself discriminatory and my job requires me to be completely impartial.
I was even involved in a non-political friendship society to promote cultural exchange and understanding between a more enlightened Arab state and Scotland. I found that fascinating and met some very interesting and lovely people.
However, who knows what deep-seated fears and bigotries we may have.
I liked that my daughter's school celebrated / acknowledged the main religious events in a number of religions. They were not restricted from celebrating our own religious dates. All children were in involved in all events.
I do believe the political correctness seems to have gone overboard. If we go to live in another country, we are expected to abide by their rules and laws and practices.
The requirement to have sufficient population and skills is complex, so there will always be a need for immigrants, as we will also have people who emigrate to other climes. By all means, come to our country to work, contribute to society and the economy and live a new life with us. At the same time, as Honeybun says, live by our rules and laws and respect OUR rights to our culture.
