Back then British society was not at all tolerant, and the 'immigrants' had no other choice than to integrate into British society, rather than importing their own variation of it.
So that situation cannot be compared to that of today, where any notion that Britain has any kind of indigenous culture that deserves preserving, is always subsumed by the need for acceptance of alien cultures.
