Do BA have many black, indian or asian flight crew?

Every time I have flown on BA and seen a member of the flight crew they have been white, anglo saxon chaps or, to a much lesser extent, white, anglo saxon chapesses.

I see quite a few members of the flight crew because on my regular route (DOH-BAH-LHR) there is a change at BAH and so the DOH-BAH crew leave through the upper deck and the BAH-LHR crew arrive, again through the upper deck.

BA seems to have quite a few cabin crew of african, indian or asian heritage. And these days Britain is a highly multi-cultural society so I would expect to see these groups represented in the flight crew too although the evidence suggests that this might not be the case. So do BA have many flight crew whose heritage is not white, anglo saxon? And if not, how come?
