The representation thing is likely down to how recent the migration wave is like you stated.
It’s also likely down to the impression of Eastern European migration or EU migration in general where it is mostly viewed as temporary migration for work and not migration of people coming here to settle fully so are still seen as ‘polish in a Britain’ and not ‘British polish’ if you get what I mean?
This will likely improve over generations like it did for Asians and afro-Caribbean migrants. I feel like I see more polish and other Eastern European food items in stores now so it takes a while for the culture to filter through
I disagree that discrimination about Eastern European is accepted. They general face the same sort of issues all new migrants faced when they started immigrating. Which is raised as a problem by some and said to just be ‘sjw woke nonsense’ from others. If you were around for the Brexit saga you’d have seen how this played out quite visibly in British society. Anti-European sentiment from Brexiteers was quite heavily criticised by many from what I remember.
The discrimination you mentioned from ‘other migrants’ is likely to the impression people have of Eastern European’s being quite racist due to things like Fidez and Orban, PiS, skinheads etc. So likely some level of mistrust is there from that.
You need to remember that many Brexiteers and the right wing have spent decades casting you as benefit scrounging violent thugs that are ruining Britain and stealing our jobs and people who fought against these mistruth’s were labelled as ‘traitors’ and ‘sjw woke lefties’ so it will take a time for impressions to change.
There's nothing here!
