In 2001，British Prime Minister，Tony Blair said，“We celebrate the diversity(多样*)in our country，get strength from the cultures and the races that go to make up Britain today.”
People from all cultures and races can be found in every corner of Britain and each person in his or her own way has contributed to making Britain the place it is today.
If you walk down a street in Britain，especially in the bigger cities，you will usually see people with different hair，skin and eye colors. They may have white，brown or black skin and blonde，brown，black or red hair，with blue，black，brown or green eyes. Many of the people you will see will be British people but they all look different because the people of Britain are a mixed race.
Britain is and has always been a mixed race society. Early in the British history they were invaded by Romans，Saxons，Vikings and Normans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants. Over the years，thousands of people have been forced by persecution(*)or hunger to leave France，Ireland，Russia，and other countries，and have settled in Britain.
About 8% of the population of Britain today are people from other cultures and races. That is 4.6 million people. According to a BBC report in September 2005，immigration (移民)made up more than half of Britain's population growth from 1991 to 2001.TheGuardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the UK was 145,000 a year.
People moving to Britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive. An excellent example of this is the Notting Hill Carnival which celebrates the Caribbean culture and is now a very big part of British life today.
