I know of two, presumably there are more. I also know of a naturalised Iraqi and a Lebanese. BA go out of their way (too far out of their way in some peoples view) to recruit females and minority groups. They even funded studies some years back into why minority groups didn't apply in signifcant numbers to BAs pilot training scheme. The results revealed that it wasn't that applicants thought they would be disadvantaged by their race but that the vast majority of those who had the necessary qualifications wanted to do a better job than flying a plane.
