AOG, the figure which you undoubtly do not want to know, is that the number of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) staff employed by the BBC is 2,405, an increase from 11.9% to 12.2%, according to figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Broadcast magazine.
UK population has 14% BAME people, so the are actually UNDER represented, not over.

I think under or over represented is subjective depending on there you're from. Predominantly white village?
The locals might have something to say about George or Clive reading the News. and probably something else to say about Chi-chi or Leeza or Ore or Naga.
How many are there in Britain? 60 million? How many are employed by broadcasters?
Any word about the ethnicity of newspaper journalists?
Storm in a tea-cup imo.
Don't care about colour of someone's skin, if they can do their job well, then so be it.

I will never understand this ... seems as long as we get the white numbers down from within the BBC everything is hunky-dory.
Does anyone know what the percentage black people is at the BBC?
Does anyone know what the percentage of Asian people is at the BBC?
Why is is White or BAME?

It's not social class nowadays. It's economic and educational.
I would have thought ((( warning, warning, this is an over generalisation but still relevant)))that those on the lower educational strata (reality 'stars' excepted) don't get in (it can be restrictively technical) and the lower economic strata are too busy making ends meet to be overly bothered with the arts.
So unless you have the wherewithal to be in 'the arts' it will remain the domain of 'not representative'.
However this is one of the few times I seem to agree with Eddie. Work out the % of representative and you'll have the right answer.
This sort of came up the other day in a thread about an advert. Was it John Lewis? I said exactly the same thing there as well. But target markets and % are not actually used much unless the target is a specific group. Otherwise it's a catch as many as you can job. To be representative they advert would have been targeted at mainly white femails with the odd minority thrown in for good measure. Whereas we are told via social media, media and advertising the country is so diverse that there is no such thing as a minority..... until the minority isn't happy with something.

As a kid I used to have dinner at mid-day, tea in the evening. As an adult I have lunch mid-day, dinner in the evening. The difference is the type of meal. Previously the mid-day meal was the more substantial, meat and two veg maybe; the typical evening meal was sandwiches, cake, cup of tea. Now-a-days lunch is the lighter meal, evening the main one.
