I'm sorry, but nowhere have I said anything of the sort and further, to the best of my knowledge ,waiters (as in the example I actually cited) don't make meals.

Again I'm sorry, but you seem to be confusing ONS statistics with what you have mistakenly assumed to be an assertion on my part.

Rather than have you misinterpret anything further, or afford you the opportunity of suggesting / implying that I have suggested something which I patently have not, you're welcome to read the
Labour force survey from Spring 2004 to Winter 2004/05 wherein you can see the percentiles (vs per capita population by ethnicity) suggest that what
you are suggesting
is actually the case in many parts of the UK.

I know there aren't and I know you weren't, but anyone with a modicum of sense reading this is well aware of the stereotype you were trying to portray and the message it conveys.
