We certainly do. Our soap operas, regularly the highest rated prime time shows on UK television, mostly all feature minorities in big roles. Some of our most popular comedians are "minorities" (Lenny Henry, possibly the 80's most popular stand-up and huge contributor to Comic Relief, as an immediate example), including an Iranian comedian who is getting pretty big here at the moment. There is a huge and growing music scene of musicians, especially around London, who are black or otherwise "minority".

I currently date a girl who's mother is Malaysian and whose father is Welsh. I have Indian friends, Iranian friends, Chinese friends, Irish friends, English friends, Welsh friends, black friends, white friends... do NOT underestimate the U.K. for ethnic diversity, because you would be very surprised.
