"Belgium Antwerp- 6.7% (>30,000 of >450,000) (EUMAP) Brussels (region) - 17%-20% (160,000-220,000) [some say 33% (City of Brussels?)] (NEWS, NEWS)" http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2007/11/muslim-population-in-european-cities.html http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/223022/brussels-sprouts/letters
It is correct to say that the muslim population in Belgium is very concentrated in certain districts of Brussels and Antwerp.
"It is correct to say that the muslim population in Belgium is very concentrated in certain districts of Brussels and Antwerp." the remark in itself is far from being racist. perhaps your joking response is racist as it seems to imply that no other group is capable of preparing kebabs.
Don't pat yourself on the back or adopt a superior attitude. your original remark does not come close to biting sarcasm. It qualifies as sarcasm only by the lowest standards. actually your apology is an example of sarcasm.
I beg to differ , his apology was an insulting metaphor but not sarcastic . If he suggested you had a good understanding of the english language , then he would be being sarcastic.
Yes. It is called "networking". Wherever you go, you want to be friendly and get to know the people around you. If you think that money will be the only thing to get you through situations, then you are sadly mistaken. Make friends, be sociable and network. That is the formula for survival and living.
money is fiat. carry grams of gold. it is true. even under extreme conditions in the concentration camps children who had social skills, were well liked, were more likely to survive because of protection by adults
