IMHO, I don't know.Your theory that a third party nationals may seek to use military internet forums to stir dissent between people who have no quarrel may have merit.
In addition, the suggestion that those people may be English "native speakers" may also be plausible.
What actions do you suggest to resolve matters because this row has been blown out of all proportion?
I am not in ARRSE, so can't comment on it. I have read some posts on the fly. But I don't and won't tag Britain as racist, as I had not had any such treatment. Being called a Paki sometimes,I didn't mind. Those folks probably hated Pakis, and most from the sub continent have the same skin tone.
The only way I see it is to talk about it and while doing so understand that none is infallible while we discuss the past and present, for that would help build or burn the people to people relations of the future. So while Indians discuss Churchill, the other party should have an open mind about their war hero. And while our poverty is talked about, we should be open to ideas on how to eradicate it. And ignore the doucebags.
