You're right, I don't think there is enough representation. I have seen some attempts, The Archers and coronation street have Eastern-European characters.
I'm British Indian, I'm a bit of a coconut by some asian's standards and "not like the others" by some white British people's standards. One of the most confusing things I've found is white British people accepting of me but who hold very xenophobic views about Eastern-Europeans, I've argued with them to the point where I've cut them out of my life.
In general I get along really well with Eastern-Europeans. I'm not sure if it's a sense of shared otherness, where even though our original cultures are not the same in this country we share being outsiders.
Sadly I've seen black and asian people say racist things about EE and have also seen a rise in EE anti-islam graffiti and posters around where I live.
There's nothing here!
