Has immigration made Britain a less tolerant place?

*By immigration I mean the type Britain in particular has experienced over the years.

There seems to be a view that immigration has made Britain more tolerant because it has made us more diverse and multicultural, but I think we are witnessing the opposite.

Large, unskilled immigration has driven up anti-immigrant sentiment, making Britain a less hospitable place for migrants who do want to contribute.

It has led to greater community tensions, especially between particular religious groups.

Thinking of the countries who have made up immigrant communities it has arguably increased conservative attitudes in terms of homosexuality, feminism, abortion, etc.

So what went wrong?

Well given anti immigration sentiment is generally negatively correlated with number of immigrants in an area in this country I'd say its probably not really the fault of the immigration itself,and more that immigration is being used as a scapegoat for the ills of the working classes. Of course it's easier to blame immigrants than actually build more houses, or admit the government was wrong to sell off all the social housing stock and not replace it.

What about the other points I made?

I would say the opposite.
Can you think of any other country, with the possible exception of Sweden that would of stood by for over 15 yrs and watched thousands of young English girls being systematically trafficked and raped by gangs of Pakistani men?
How tolerant do you have to be.
What do you imagine the response would have been from the Pakistani community had it been gangs of white men raping their children?
Britain is without doubt one of the most tolerant countries in the world. Something we should be proud of.

We should be proud of the grooming gangs?

What you have now with the internet, is a small and angry group of people who really don't like various groups, using the internet to constantly talk about it. This creates the impression to themselves that the whole country shares their views.

I covered pretty much everything. There's far more anti immigration sentiment and tension up in white rural Yorkshire than in actual multicultural cities such as Birmingham, which are pretty harmonious.

No, the UK has got more tolerant in recent years.

In the 1970s, it was common to have adverts in the newspaper for properties to rent where people would put "no blacks, no Irish"

In the 1980s, in football grounds people were still doing monkey chants at black players and throwing bananas, the media would do a witch hunt on celebrities to expose them as being gay, you had prominent people in the public eye making statements about gays being punished for their sinful activities by the HIV epidemic

Since the 1990s racist, homophobia, also sexism has generally been disappearing from mainstream society, it hasn't gone completely but it has been diminished. But this is also the time where there has been more immigration.

As an example, look on TSR, there are a lot of threads about immigration but they are always posted by the same subset of people. Any time you see a thread posted about migration look at the OP's posting history, I bet there will be a theme there - recurrent threads posted. This is also true with the "anti-feminism backlash", most people in society never bother getting stressed about feminism but on TSR there are a lot of threads about it. Again next time you see a thread about feminism, click on the OP's user posting history and there will be a recurrent theme of multiple threads about feminism.

Funny that the more immigrants in a place, the more happy and tolerant about immigration they tend to be.It is almost as if they don't want to hate themselves.
Come on, of course that will be the case. Look how much of London is Muslim/from the EU; of course it will be the most "harmonious" as you called it.

No sorry, i meant we should be proud that we didn't drag random Pakistani men out into the street and beat them to death or burned them alive, which I genuinely think would have been the response of Pakistanis against white men over there or even here come to that.
