Semantically, their definition doesn't make sense. It implies that if you put a Brit, a Canadian, a Pole, a Chinaman, an Irishman etc in a room they would each be an ethnic minority even though each ethnic group is equally represented.
Of course one could also infer that it means "British" ethnic group could be eventually classed as an ethnic minority if the sum of all the other ethnic groups' populations exceed its own.

Is that true? I know they can prioritise certain religions, as I was told at about this time last year not to bother wasting a choice on my lad's secondary school application form by going for one particular school, because he had minimal chance for getting in as he's not baptised a Catholic.
