They should not chase ratings but produce programmes that are of the highest quality

The whole point of the BBC is that they should not chase ratings but produce programmes that are of the highest quality and are valid in terms of creative integrity as validated by peer-review from critics.

The fact that one or other demographic group finds them unattractive at this particular moment in time is of no consequence.

They may well appreciate the programmes in the future (perhaps when newly-arrived BAME people have a better understanding of English) or they may never appreciate them, no matter what effort is made - by which argument the BBC needs to be junked at a rate proportional to the percentage growth of the BAME section of the population.
