In Tooting, Balham, even Croydon, in the restaurants I go in (indian, also Pizza Hut, Pizza Express, Nandoes, Thai restaurants, etc etc) the majority of staff are not white English.
This is why I initially suggested it's geographical - around here most of the employees of the companies you mention are white Welsh people.

I have no idea - hence my asking what others thought. I'm willing to believe it's not racism but I balk at the notion that white Brits don't want the same hours and pay.
