Russ, without labouring the point (and ruining Coggy's Pimms and after eights evening altogether) the paragraph in which the above phrase was used was fairly self explanatory in that I even cited an example by way of clarification.

They are interlinked in that those coming from an ethnic minority are more predisposed to take lower paid jobs in certain sectors due to their social standing (perceived or otherwise). SLM's examples (whilst not my own words) are a perfect reflection of this.

Not a problem, you're welcome. There are some truly alarming figures contained in that which show how the UK is starting to pan out workforce wise. Incidentally NI, as a micro reflection of ethnic employment, has actually a higher per capita ratio of uptake in certain sectors. However, a lot of this is directly due to ("ex" if you believe the papers) paramilitary involvement in racketeering, social security fraud and protection rackets.

I'm posting on what I can see around me in my own town. The 'ethnic' population is quite possibly one of the lowest in the UK, this is why I'm asking about other areas.

Apologies if you were offended. I posted on the premise that you were more worldlywise than your post implied and, to be honest, I thought you were simply being mischievous in posting what you did. Given your explanation I was wrong with regard to your intent so again, sorry.
Peace.
