Hmm, the usual confusion over the use of the words "ethnic" and "ethnicity" and the tendency to use them to mean nationality, skin colour, religion, language or any combination! John Collis discusses this well in "the Celts: origins, myths, inventions". IMHO an individual's ethnicity (or culture, if you will) is defined by one or both of two criteria: what you believe yourself to be, and/or what others believe you to be.
I tend to agree that the success or otherwise of multiculturalism depends on your viewpoint, and what you want to see, and could well be class based.
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
