Reflection:
(a) These figures are from the year 2000; it will probably have changed through the years and become higher today.
(b) The percentage figure for Indians, certainly has increased through the years and they are much higher today because of all the new construction projects in Dubai, they need more labor workers to finish quickly.
(c) The percentage figure for white Europeans, is certainly higher than 2.4% because nowadays new schools, universities, colleges have been built and they require English teachers to teach English courses.
