Well, erm, yes, if we're talking about authenticity. I'm not saying it's right, I'm stating a fact. By way of an example - how "Indian" would you consider a 6 foot tall blond haired, blue eyed caucasian waiter to be?

I don't know Russ....perhaps it's a conspiracy? According to the Labour force survey "52% of male Bangladeshi workers work in the restaurant industry (compared with only 1% of white males)."
Perhaps it's passed you by but the number of factory jobs and call centres being outsourced / staffed by foreign nationals in the UK and / or foreign nationals abroad is constantly on the increase. Businesses have been quick to spot the fact that they can get the job done cheaper (though not always as well or better) by foreign nationals - irrespective of their demographic location.

I think the reason / rationale / logic behind that has been stated in various guises above.
Just out of interest, does your local Welsh Rarebit Take-away delivery driver look like Tom Jones or Harry Seacombe?
