Interesting?

What a load of hyperpole crap. Sure, some aspects are true, but this guy obviously has shares in a company selling mixed metaphores and overused adjectives.

"Among the other 80-plus percent are the white mercenary workers who come here for tax-free salaries to do managerial and entrepreneurial jobs, parasites and sycophants for cash. For them money is a driving principle and validation. They came to be young, single, greedy, and insincere. None of them are very clever. So they live lives that revolve around drink and porn sex and pool parties and barbecues with a lot of hysterical laughing and theme nights, karaoke, and slobbery, regretful coupling."

Talk about generalisation!!!! "None of them are very clever"?....what an arsehole.
"Porn sex"?...where do I sign up for that?
Jeez, this is one of the most one-sided, blatantly exaggerated articles I've ever read. Guess it sells print though. So much for greed.
