It is not a common source of tension in the UK but a common source of tension in London.

And Birmingham, sometimes it boils over as a result:

The riots were derived from ethnic tensions between the Caribbean and British Asian communities, with the spark for the riot being an alleged gang rape of a teenage black girl by a group of South Asian men. The rape allegation has never been substantiated.

That was the result of rumour/race baiting via a pirate radio station rather than social media and in that case no one even knows the girl exists. But once the story was circulating that some guys in the Asian shop had supposedly raped a black girl then it all kicked off.

lol, dude. A sample from 18 years ago, again, where you are grouping an entire continent together to prove a point. The American black asian problem is Chinese folk

There as always been tension between the black and asian communities. But it rarely gets coverage in the media because the wokies like to group all non-white people together.

I remember riots in Birmingham and Manchester, mostly over the drug trade.

There seems to be a selection of black people who are comparing Pakistani shop owners to the Korean shop owners during the LA riots in the US.

Nope, I think you're conflating the issues with assaults in some cities like SF.

The issue with shopkeepers is broader and you'll find various Asian-American groups operate stores in innercity areas where tensions arise, see the below for example.

You telling me you don't read the "Bay State Banner" for all your South Asian vs. Black ethnic relation news? Outrageous.

You could just see the comments on Twitter or live in say South London and talk to people and you'd be aware of those community tensions. It took a few seconds to find that article, similar tensions exist in the US between shopkeepers and some residents of inner city areas for similar obvious reasons.
