The unasked question

The Mail reports that:
"The BBC and Channel 4 could be forced to use more female and ethnic characters and presenters in TV shows under controversial reforms of equality laws. The change could hit programmes such as Top Gear, which has an all-male presenting team... State-funded organisations are being ordered to boost the proportion of female, black and gay staff to reflect the make-up of the UK population under plans unveiled by Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman. "
I wonder if BBC Radio 1Xtra will have to recruit some non-black "talent" or do the new regulations only work one way?
