According to an article in the Times, in 2004 there were only 10 female black lecturers in british Academia.
Also, "people from non-white backgrounds make up 17 per cent of researchers, just under 9 per cent of lecturers, 6 per cent of senior lecturers and 4.4 per cent of professors". The american researcher was shocked by white male predominance in academia.
The article is very well written and revealing
This shows that the so-called 'multiculturalism' and 'openess' of british society is superficial, it is just a discourse meant to conceal their good old elitism and racism...

Thanks for putting up the article and the picture I love it!
The problem is centred on British ethnic minorities - it's basically a way of preserving the elitest social hierarchy that is the blueprint for Britain , ie no social mobility. It's not AS tough for working class whites, but it is still tough to break through the glass ceiling.
