Honestly, I think hiring in the corporate aviation world is based on two things:
1. Are you experienced and Type Rated in the jet they operate (this is obviously a lower training cost for the company).
2. Do you know somebody personally at the company that you can use as a reference.

If we examined the racial mix of corporate pilots in the UK or the EU, then there are probably more white guys than non-white guys flying aircraft, simply because there are more white corporate pilots in Europe.

If you went to the Phillipines would you not expect to see more Phillipino taxi drivers than white British taxi drivers?

If you went to Bolivia, would you not tend to see more Bolivian farmers than white farmers?

Then again, I don't even know why I am writing because your post seems written specifically to annoy and irritate.

Best of luck.
