When it comes to programmes like Citizen Khan, I don't think that Eastern Europeans are seen yet as being a group of people who are migrating to Britain, and 'becoming British' so to say.
​
Whereas Indians, Pakistanis etc are moving here, and lets be honest, won't be going back, ever, there's still a perception that Eastern Europeans are coming here to work, then to go back home again.

And also, second generation eastern Europeans are often indistinguishable from the native population. So even if they do settle, they kind of vanish pretty quickly. Any white character in EastEnders could have a script written where they find out they're actually half Polish.
