I believe I've watched that same documentary, but to be honest that issue between west-Indies and pakistanis aren't that serious. It was a little focused on just certain area/boroughs that experience cultural clashes every now and then, like most urban places in western society. In regards to Africans and Caribbean. I personally consider it a love-hate relationship between the Older generation. But with the younger generation (2nd/3rd generation Black British) these cultures merge almost hand-in-hand in Uk's urban areas. As you may already know, West-indies were the first migrants to the UK and paved the way for cultural inclusion into British society. Carribeans have built a long reputation for it's influence in the 70s, 80s and 90s. In UK's pop culture, media, politics and many aspects of the late 20th century. The most recognisable thing I've noticed about Caribbeans in Britain is the influence it brought to the British language in the the inner-city areas, especially London. Now Africans came there-after. Large number migrated from the 80s and 90s. And as the Caribbeans, they also were a great influence and left their mark in the UK, most migrants groups do leave an ingredient in today's Britain. Interesting. I know West Indians were in the UK for a long time, but wasn't sure about when continental Africans arrived. With regards to the older generations, can you give more details about what you mean by a love hate relationship? I'll reply to this very soon, i've been very busy sorry
