We need a rule to improve ethnic minority management opportunities?
400,000 French people in the UK..... 1/150 people.... over represented.
Portuguese people in UK.... 0.8% of population.... over represented.
Spanish people..... 0.05% of population....over represented.
Chileans over represented.
Scottish... over represented.
Uruguayans? Argentinians? Over represented.
Or are these not counted as "ethnic minorities" because a honky is a honky?

0.8 sounds high. Are there really that many Portuguese in England?

Midfielder Toure, 31, reactivated his account with the social network on Monday after a five month absence. Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out said it had "received complaints" about two tweets of a "racist nature" and had informed the police on Monday. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: "Officers are currently investigating." Earlier, a Kick it Out spokesman said Toure had been back on Twitter "for a matter of hours" when he "received abuse of an appalling nature".'

Findings of the study, carried out by the Sports Person's Think Tank, will be revealed at Westminster on Monday but have already been seen by BBC Sport. Sports Minister Helen Grant said the findings are "appalling and worrying".
Former Reading, Blackburn and Wigan striker Jason Roberts, 36, is a founding member of the think tank.
"It appears that football has lost successive generations of potential coaches and managers simply because they are black or from other ethnic minority backgrounds," he wrote in the report.
BBC Sport understands the FA is not aware of any complaints of discrimination and has previously stated it would encourage anyone with a complaint to come forward and report them.
