I have looked at "white racism" research which generally shows up in contexts where there is a majority/minority dynamic. I am looking for racism research particularly directed towards Pakistani community, sometimes including Indians and Bengalis as well. In particular, I want to look at "othering" research focusing on Pakistanis/ browns, and othering by Middle Easterns, Black communities and South East Asians in particular.
Class discrimination is everywhere especially the rigid caste system followed by the people as a part of identity.

Please, see How Pakistan Fell in Love With Bollywood: The history of a culture clash (by Anuj Chopra- March 15, 2010). It is about Muslim Pakistani man struggling against prejudices in the United States in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

In early November 2019, Roskilde University in Denmark will host a conference on racialisation and islamophobia across Europe. I anticipate that the conference will draw researchers from non-white communities who engage with the issues you have mentioned. The conference certainly seems worth attending.
