Just look at out marriage rates, that is the best way to show integration in most nations when the population you are talking about is a real immigrant community.

Afro-Caribbeans men marry out at about 50%, women about 30%.

With Africans it is lower, however Africans (not including Somalis) are wealthier and less crime prone because they come to the country or did come with more education than Afro-Caribbeans (who like Pakistanis) came as cheap labor.

Judging by the states the from England and Wales Statistic office, which can be found on line, the "black" population (especially Afro-Caribbean) will disappear in the next 3 generations.

The Muslim one will not.

Marrying out, imo, is not a solid sign of integration. It can also mean assimilation, which is fine as long as it suits the person who's being assimilated. Then there are people that happen to find more in common with their own ethnicity and marry their own but are fully integrated. I always believe the difference between assimilation and integration should be boldly underlined.
