My GF works for an architecture firm that's minority (african-american) owned, and she herself is from south india.... her co-workers are or have been african-american as well as people from middle eastern countries, china and yes, there are a few anglo-americans working there on contract, but the firm is serious about not being a "front" organisation for a non-minority back-end, as often happens and violates the whole idea....
The do a certain amount of govt work for things like schools and libraries that comes their way after filling out insanely detailed RFP's.... the hoops they go through sometimes seem to make them wonder if the MBE status is really worth it, but they did do somewhat better than other firms during the 2008-2009 downturn in the architecture world....
So, it can sometimes be worth it, but the hoops you have to jump through are sometimes insane....
