    We are dealing with my attempt at a joke. Nothing more.

    I have been to a few Chinatowns. San Francisco was nice, XIII in Paris too. Had no problem at all, and I'm quite a tall Dutchman.

    And I was joking as well. Chinatown's and in fact most ethnic neighborhoods are a nightmare to investigate a crime in. Try living in one. It wouldn't be the most welcoming of environments.

    What makes you assume there aren't any here, you will find Chinese quarters in evey western-europian city. Crime, not noticed any

    Where did I say western Europe didn't have china towns i am tired of things being pulled out of thin air.

    Gangs and human trafficking are bad in Chinatowns and people often tend not to talk to those from "outside"

    Bull. Two seconds of Google.

    In fact, recently I read Rob Wijnberg's book "Nietzsche en Kant lezen de krant". He also pointed out the presence of illegal casinos in most Chinese restaurants.

    Eh, at least I chose the academic way. Could have picked the musician's way:

    "Criminal activity in Chinatown? It is a tale, best explained in song!"

    All Chinese restaurants get shaken down by Chinese mafia, there is crime but it is among themselves, Chinese prefer to be unnoticed. You are perfectly safe in Chinese area's

    @Centurion, misunderstood you, wasn't trying to put words in your mouth
