Re: DUBAI....NEED HELP URGENTLY
Ok, well, I guess I'm probably a bit more sensitive to these issues than you all seem to be. Point to note - I'm British, but naturalized (with a z) as a British citizen.

Re: DUBAI....NEED HELP URGENTLY
There's no requirement to be a Brit (naturalised or otherwise) to post on BE. It really doesn't mean anybody is being racist if they just guess that somebody is from somewhere else (unless they were also derogatory about the nationality in question, in which case it may well be).

Ummm, the language in that post could easily be used by people from several other nationalities - Spanish, for instance, or any Asian or Latino country could qualify, but the fact that only two were mentioned is what makes it racist. Often times when you're being racist you don't see it.
Being from India or Pakistan is a nationality not a race

Nicely demonstrated! I guess I wouldn't. I suppose it was just the negative connotation associated with the original assumption that threw me off. "That's bad English so it's probably Pakistani or Indian".

No racism at all IMO, and presumably it's relevant to the OP's questions, so now that he's confirmed his nationality those in the know should be able to help.

Stay in India is my advice, lots of Indians are moving back from the UAE at present.
