Was this internet cafe in the United Nations or something? Poles, Turks, Englishmen, my word.

Re: Trip report: fight in Internet cafe
 

I sometimes find it strange reading an American book or article. The writer, who is almost certainly white, describes a character in minute detail, letting you know his height, weight, and everything but his shoe size, but never mentions the colour of his skin. I'm sure good writers occasionally include these details. So are there thousands of editors carefully cropping every reference to race from every piece of American published prose?

The lawyers all went to public school (i.e. top private school, different meaning here) then Oxford/Cambridge, and have ridic super-posh voices, like this:

Mildly amusing. You do realise that's an impressionist?

I spent six months there as a temp secretary, then came back two months later to work in the word processing department. I am a complete anomaly, having pretty much the education of the lawyers (though I'm from a more middle-class background) but, seemingly, so little ambition I'm happy to do a school leaver's job. So they don't know what to make of me.

You've made statements like this before(overeducated/underachieving), and i'm not trying to be harsh when I say this, but do you ever stop to think that you might not be as smart/educated as you think you are. Blaming a lack of ambition seems like a very easy out for somebody who has not achieved very much.

I just spoke to a friend who also goes to this Internet cafe.

She told me the guy who works there is called Mohammed. I did see one of the other guys there taking prayers, when I was trying to buy a ticket. So maybe they are not Turkish after all, but Middle Eastern? Or Turkish Muslim?

What? You do know that Turks are Muslim, no?

Re: Trip report: fight in Internet cafe
 

You seem confused luckyjimm. 99% of Turkey is muslim. Why does him being muslim suddenly not make him Turkish?

Edit: In fact, it is very common for some countries to lump all muslims as Turkish. Denmark/Sweden and Argentina for example (I'm sure there are more, I just know these ones from experience living there).
