He encouraged immigration, he spent two years in India, if he was so conscious about cultural differences he would have been better prepared for the outcomes and not turned on the immigrants as soon as he found out he was wrong.

Define "turn on" with reference to his speech please

He was against Sikh people wearing turbans and said they should assimilate into the British culture.

This is his comment 'The Sikh communities' campaign to maintain customs inappropriate in Britain is much to be regretted. Working in Britain, particularly in the public services, they should be prepared to accept the terms and conditions of their employment. To claim special communal rights (or should one say rites?) leads to a dangerous fragmentation within society. This communalism is a canker; whether practised by one colour or another it is to be strongly condemned.'
There was a problem with turbans when head gear for motor cycles became compulsory in the end they were allowed to be exceptions

Because he did not blame coloured people per se

Anyway, i'm prepared to accept he's not racist, i accept i don't know what his intentions and innermost thoughts were. From what i can see, they look very sketchy. And no, i don't want to label you a racist, i'd like to think the opposite! You seem very ethnocentric though and that's probably why you admire him so much

I suggest you make up your mind.
As a general comment why don't you take what he wrote as it is, rather than putting your anti White spin on it. ?
I have been on many forums , but I have never found such concern with skin colour as on this one, I find it appalling
