UK Regulator Finds Ethnic Minorities Over-Represented on TV, Demands More Diversity Anyway (https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/09/29/ofcom-ethnic-minority-diversity-tv/)

White people and heterosexuals are underrepresented in the British television industry, an Ofcom audit has found — but the watchdog still insists there is “much more to do on diversity”.
The report came a couple of days after Ofcom declared increasing representation of minority groups was “a priority” for the regulator, warning broadcasters would face “disaster” without making diversity central to their work.
Ofcom’s content policy director, Jacquie Hughes, said: “If you’re not constantly working on that you are not only suggesting some people are invisible but you are missing a chance to engage with them.”
EDIT: It wasn't the BBC, but some regulator called Ofcom (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/home) that did this. My bad.
