Wow...thats pretty literal of you.
I don't think he was attempting to claim that every single person in Dubai fitted this description to a tee. If you take personal exception to it, then you must spend a lot of time being angry at newspaper articles...
I'd say - in my humble opinion - that he is spot on about Dubai, and about more than 70% of its residents.

Literal: free from exaggeration or embellishment.
I don't take personal exception to a guy that does research, understands his subject matter and gives fair representation to the subject.
I do however, find it both offensive and derogatory to assume that everyone who is in Dubai has come here for the same reasons or motivations. The "opinion" given is poorly researched, without merit andor written by a complete ****wit!
But apart from that, it's a good read....ish

Oh not moaning..I just appreciate universal free education system in Scotland.
My dad was proud...but more so for the family name...as I discovered a new and beautiful genus and species of tropical fish in PNG (Kiunga ballochi), which was named after me. The fish was lost to science..but was rediscovered:

So my 15 minutes of fame (family name) will live on for an eternity...well until our sun expands, incinerate our planet and life and our civilisation perishes ( a bit like the star of Bethlehem in the short story (The Star) by Arthur C. Clarke)
