I agree that "lack of culture" is not a good reason to criticize Dubai, but I think the fact that foreigners are damn near kidnapped and treated as slave labor in order to build skyscrapers is certainly worthy of criticism.
- rdtsc 16y agoI think "lack of culture" is a good reason to criticize if Dubai is advertising itself as "having" culture. They are criticized for posing and hypocrisy, which to me it seems, is universally considered a universal negative trait. Is Laos paying large PR firms and selling itself as "having culture"? Is Vietnam? Are they fooling anyone? Not really. Dubai has been selling itself as something it is not and underneath it is pretty much and empty shell, and I think that is what was being pointed out.
