The port cities of Cardiff and Swansea have always had large non-indigenous populations. Shirley Bassey's father was Nigerian, mixed-race marriages were common in the Tiger Bay area of Cardiff where she grew up.

But there were lots of Pakistanis and other people from the Indian subcontinent all over industrial South Wales from at least the 1950s on. There were several Asian families in the Valleys town where I grew up in the 1950s.

There were minor racial tension - but not on the level one saw in Nottingham, Birmingham and London at that period.
