In China people often ask me whether I am white or yellow (somehow they cannot tell), and I get called all sorts of things under the sun (Mexican, Malaysian, Arabic, Italian, Spanish...you name it)...everything except being called British!
Movie-makers would have died of boredom in a crime-free world. The police force would have remained honest because there would have been no one to corrupt it. Ditto for the political leadership and the judiciary. Come to think of it the world of crime creates jobs.

I recently reviewed the Square Enix game Sleeping Dogs, a gritty undercover cop action game where your character goes up against the Triads. I spoke with a former doorman of one of the Traids clubs in Hong Kong to ask his just how realistic the game actually is.
You do not hear much about the people in advertising; the ad agencies? Yes, maybe - but hardly anything about the people.
