Racial profiling- 5 star Dubai hotel apologises

[Icewolf]

Oh boy where do i start. It is what it is, fair skin, American passport makes my life easier over there. But it is a very prejudiced and classist place. But it provides secure earning and a safe environment.

Pros and cons. Indians, Pakistanis are treated worse right from the airport. They got the money, they have the upper hand.

One day Arabs will be migrating to South Asia instead and then south Asians will look down upon them like dogs... 30 years till South Asia becomes developed... Corresponds with oil running out

Well not everyone gets the same kinda treatment.
If you meant the EMKE group(Lulu,Life line etc) or the Shetty group then they are exceptions. In fact it's true that you don't have to face discrimination often, but there are rare ocassionas which might take you by surprise.

Never heard of them

I was talking about the one's I know personally. .one family friend for e.g..owns a huge granite business in Dubai..owns multiple mansions and some exotic cars. One more known person owns two engineering factories in dubai and Abu dhabi...there are a few more.

Not a taunt...I know of a few Indians who own big businesses in dubai..wouldn't have happened if they weren't treated well.

Forget EMKE, Shetty and Lulu group

Height of Success: From mechanic to owner of 22 Burj Khalifa units in Dubai - Emirates 24|7

One thing for sure, somehow or the other, luck plays a vital role in the success of any business person in any place on earth.



Added: There are people like the above from other nationalities as well including Pakistanis.

 

[الأعرابي]

Yeah...it's about my eyes now.
Let me show you how you had pulled some blanket statements...


In short...whenever such racist incidents happen in ME, either Pakistanis or Indians are responsible for it....well "mostly". True??

So you conveniently ignored the fact that there many Chinese and Russians who land here for the same purpose, though am not sure if they get treated the same way as the lady in question.

Yes it's definitely about your eyes, i clearly said that hotels staff in Dubai are mostly Indians and Pakistanis, and didn't even mention that only Pakistanis and Indian are racist. And regrading the prostitutes i only mentioned the most common nationalities, i'm not about to give a full list of the origins of every prostitute in Dubai. Now please get your self a pair of glasses for you clearly can only see through your butt.

Well those who live in Middle East would know atleast of Lulu and UAE exchange and ergo I mentioned them, the chairmen of these groups have been repeatedly awarded by Indian and UAE govt for their services. I'm sure there are many other businessmen richer and famous than them in UAE.

arabs are some of the most racist people ever, probably still reeling from an uncovered Michelle Obama at the king's funeral in saudia lol

 

[thesolar65]

Racism is widespread in Dubai :-/, even I had my share of experience!

Thank God, when I will visit Dubai next year (this year it was yours), I will stay with my college friend!!

Lol
Don't worry, it isn't as evident.
Do tell me when you come to Dubai.

 

[Menace2Society]

I have been to Saudi, Dubai, Kuwait. Never had any issues. People been very friendly. But I guess it depends on your complexion which is sad. You judge a mans character, not his skin colour. Messed up world we live in.

Any comprehension issues???

Ah so the issue is not in your eyes it's in your brain? Should've told me than from the beginning, didn't know you suffer from a Down syndrome.

 

[Al Bhatti]

UAE issues hate crimes, discrimination law: Jail, up to Dh2 million fine

 

[Shapur Zol Aktaf]

The staff that she accused of racism are most likely Pakistanis and Indians, Arabs won't work as hotel workers in Dubai, also yes there's lots of African, East European and Iranian prostitutes in Dubai so somehow i couldn't blame them for profiling her.

The presence of prostitution in Dubai can be linked to tourism and the increase in trade, which are the main drivers of the emirate’s economy. A study by the American centre for international policy studies indicates that most of the prostitutes come from Ethiopia, Russia some African countries and a few from India.

Add to that with todays situation in Iraq, Syria (where sunni areas are wiped out) and poverty in Morocco and Albania, many sunni arabs are already prostitutes in Turkey and UAE.

Oh so he was NOT refused to be served on basis of skin but she was mistaken for a black prostitute who earlier visited the hotel ?

Looks like that and I believe it was an honest mistake, which hotel management tried to address through offering them with freebies. However, as I have also experienced when in States, at times certain blacks do indeed overly and disproportionately react and make a mountain out of a molehill.
