Re: Racism
As a person of color, I can personally say that I've never witnessed nor been the victim of racism anywhere in the Arabian peninsula. And I've actually lived with the Arabs, rather than cowering behind compound walls and whining and complaining just about everything like the lot of you. The fact that there are persons from the sub continent working lower level jobs does not mean that the entire country is racist. They come here out of their own free will and most of them actually enjoy living here. Personally, I think all whinny Brits should have their employment terminated and deported back to cold, rainy Britain. If the Arab countries are so "racist", why don't you do the moral thing and GTFO? No one asked you to move here, and you moved here out of your own free will and continue living here out of your own will. If you wish to stay here, I suggest you get off your high horse and stop bitching and complaining and whining and making false and malicious accusations against your hosts.
Racism is all over the UAE and TBH the only place worse than here is KSA, as for you telling people to move out if they dont like it, that line was worn out many years ago. Some people cannot just up and leave, they have lives here that does not mean that they dont have the right to express and opinion.
You mention that you have lived with Arabs LOL well this I have to hear, they are one of the most racist groups here, and beleive me when I say that I know first hand, your comments are unbalanced and may i say a load of bull5hit
Try mixing with people a little more and you will find that racism will smack you right in your face, that is after numerous others have smacked you for your rude and obnoxious attitude.

to be fair, taking his bizarre profanity-laden posts aside, it is possible that maybe he has found living in the middle east to be less racist than living in the uk.
it is possible, as not everyone has the same experiences....

Re: Racism
I suspect that he may have been at the receiving end of it in the UK but isn't so much here? Seems to have turned his head.

Re: Racism
i call bull$hit that he has "never witnessed" racism in the Gulf, but that's what i suspect as well. or maybe it is far more overt here, rather than sinisterly subtle like in the uk, which makes it easier to avoid.

Oh and who lives in a compound on here then? Apart from people in Saudi who I guess live there out of safety?

Re: Racism
Yet the similarities are striking if you look closely, the devil is just in the detail.
So IRRC in the Book of Revelation Russia becomes Israel’s arch enemy and arms the Muslims, then under the command of god they lead the Muslims to war. Then some people come from the East and Europe join in. No mention of the Americas or Australasian empires but then I suppose it’s difficult to make stuff up about places you don’t yet know exist.
Seems increasingly unlikely now.

Re: Racism
As a woman of colour (why your American spelling?), my wife has been called nigger by local Emirati youths on several occasions, been mistaken for a housemaid and harassed by Emiratis in white cars with tinted glass umpteen times. Our daughter has been insulted by Emiratis at school to such an extent that we had to move schools. Our African friends have been likewise abused and you should read the racist/fascist graffiti on the walls near our local shopping centre. Maybe Al Garhoud is a bad neighborhood? Unless you wear the national costume (which possibly acts as a protective shield because of the fear factor), I cannot believe that you have not encountered racism here in Dubai...MH you can go back to sleep now.
