LONDON Andrew McCutchen Pirates Jersey , Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Only 3.4 percent of Britain's most powerful and influential people are from black and minority ethnic groups, the Guardian newspaper reported Monday, citing an analysis highlighting startling inequality despite decades of British legislation to address discrimination.
From a list of just over 1,000 political, financial, judicial, cultural and security figures drawn up by the Guardian in partnership with Operations Black Vote and in consultation with academics, only 36 were from black Willie Stargell FlexBase Jersey , Asian and minority ethnic (BAME).
The proportion of women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds on the list of Britain's most powerful people is 0.7 percent, representing a grand total of seven, said the newspaper.
The numbers betray a disconnection with the composition of the UK population, 12.9 percent of whom have an ethnic minority background. In some sectors -- the politics, the military, the supreme court and the security services, as well as top consultancies and law firms -- there were no non-white people in position of leadership.
The analysis looked at the ethnicity of 1,049 people across 30 categories covering politics and the civil service Tony Watson FlexBase Jersey , policing, defence and the judiciary, stock exchange companies and business, professional services including the heads of law, accountancy, advertising, consulting and publishing firms, arts bodies Starling Marte FlexBase Jersey , the media, trade unions, top universities, sporting bodies, and health and medical services.
"The results call into question the effectiveness of legislation such as the 2000 Race Relations Act and 2010 Equality Act," the newspaper added.

NAIROBI, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- On Sunday, the world will wake up to one of the greatest races in marathon history as Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge Roberto Clemente FlexBase Jersey , the greatest runner of all time, Kenenisa Bekele, and the former world record holder in the marathon, Wilson Kipsang square off for the Berlin marathon title.
However, of importance to the three athletes may not be the win, but the chance to write history as the new marathon record holder if anyone can run under two hours, two minutes and 57 seconds, the time recorded by Kenyan Dennis Kimetto in winning the 2015 edition.
But focus will be on Kipchoge Kent Tekulve FlexBase Jersey , who now believes the world marathon record will be lowered down to the 2:01 mark "in one or two years".
"I am not going to commit to a specific year. If I were to do that I would be putting a brake on the developments, including my own. What I will predict, though, is that in one or two years, a time of 2:01 or 2:01:30 will become a reality," he said.
As well as breaking the world record, Kipchoge also wants to win a jackpot in the World Marathon Majors races before he retires.
"Of the marathon majors is one that inspires me. I still want to race and win in Tokyo, Boston and New York Jung-ho Kang FlexBase Jersey , and I also want to take another shot at the two-hour barrier. I learned a lot in Monza (Italy)."
Though Kipchoge's time was not accepted in Italy because it was not in conformity with the IAAF standards of organizing a marathon, he is the best placed athlete able to shutter it in Berlin on Sunday.
However, that does not rule out Kipsang (2:03:03) and Bekele (2:03:07) who will be part of the congregation.
Statistics show that in the last 15 years, the world record has been broken on the streets of Berlin.
First it was Kenya's Paul Tergat who clocked 2:04:55 in 2003, Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie stopped the clock at 2:04:26 in 2007 and again in 2008 Gebrselassie clocked 2:03:59 before Patrick Makau of Kenya lowered it to 2:03:38 in 2011.
That mark stood the test of time for two years before another Kenyan Kipsang lowered it further to 2:03:23 in 2013 and Dennis Kimetto claimed the current world record of 2:02:57 in 2014. All this times were recorded in the Germany capital.
This is proof that the next world record will most definitely be the goal on Sunday in Berlin.
