Post-colonialism still plays a big part in the background to some issues. Which kind of plays into the dynamics with the Indian and Pakistani communities (and Bangladeshi, etc, although the smaller groups get mentioned less).
Plus there seems increasingly to be tensions relating to movement within Europe -- people I would never have expected to hear racism or nationalism from complaining about the influx of Italians/Greeks/Eastern Europeans/whatever into 'their' town.
