EXCLUSIVE: A clash of cultures between Asian and eastern European youths is leading to increasing tension and violence on Yorkshire's streets, it is claimed. Some young Britons of Asian descent are now leading a campaign of intimidation against the new economic migrants from eastern Europe, whom they claim are taking their jobs.
The situation has become so bad in cities like Bradford that a leading social think-tank has begun research into how to get the two sides working together.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has commissioned Bradford-based organisation QED to identify the causes of tensions between the two groups and improve cultural understanding and communication between them.
In the introduction to the project it states: "The newly-arrived central and eastern European migrants have settled within five of Bradford's most deprived communities, which have high percentages of 'settled' ethnic minorities.
"There are problems of local cultures clashing and major misunderstandings of each other's backgrounds and ways of living."

Welcome to the toxic bloom of "multiculturalism."
“In the UK, Asians = Pakistanis, Indians, Middle Easterners.”
Not Middle Easterners. Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshis, generally.
“Granted, those who hail from Arab states are considered Near East Asian, to label them Asian is just deflecting their true roots.”
They don’t hail from ‘Arab states’.
Like projerctile vomiting..
The Poles may yet help save the UK.
Don’t mess with the Poles! (1/4 Polish here)
Poles are crazy and they tell the PC commisars to go stuff it.
Just like Polish RAF pilots saved them during 'The Battle of Britain.'
One of them helped break the Enigma codes, I believe..
I spent a couple of days with a bunch of those guys in the very late seventies and have been an ardent fan ever since.
I'd love to see them show the Brits what they should have been doing for some time now (!)
PS: The story says the Yoots think Poles are 'taking their jobs'...I thought these bozos were nearly all unemployed because of 'racism' or something.
Oh, I see. I thought I’d once heard an Arab being referred to as an Asian. What do you call Middle Easterners?
Middle Easterners. Arabs. Turks. Or specific nationalities, depending on the circumstances.
Where would they hail from?
I stand by the Poles. For centuries they’ve been screwed over yet they saved Europe from the Muslims. They are a wonderful and faithful people.
He also smoked “underhand” which is a very european thing. That’s what tipped me off.
How many Poles have blown up buses lately?
Britian by embracing political correctness is in the process of commiting national suicide. Thanks be to the Lord that we got out from under their thumb when we did.
One of the bars I used to hang out in during the 80's would have off-duty Chicago cops laughing about it all the time.
One of them said that he just knew, when he got a call to investigate a beating on the street, he'd arrive to find the ones who chose their victims unwisely sprawled on the ground, and a couple Eastern Europeans leaning against a wall smoking cigarettes.
Not many people understood at the time that service in the Soviet military was mandatory, where you fought or were hazed, or both.
Pakistan, India or Bangladesh in general.
As this story mentions Bradford, then Pakistan in this case.
Why the greezxlbob are they using the euphemism “Asians” — the problem is with Muzzies — Pakis and Bangladeshis. They hide behind the term “Asian” , which in the UK means all folks from the INDIAN subcontinent (Chinese etc. are called just that — chinese). I don’t see any Sri Lankan or Nepalese or Indians causing these problems. But then, most of those folks are Hindus or Christians or Sikhs
