extraordinary. the tales of virtual slavery of the workers from all over asia are heart-rending. the clear hierarchy too:
1. local arabs
2. whites
3. other arabs
4. east asians
5. indian subcontinentals
here's what a sloshed limey expat says:
They have been in Dubai for 20 years, and they are happy to explain how the city works. "You've got a hierarchy, haven't you?" Ann says. "It's the Emiratis at the top, then I'd say the British and other Westerners. Then I suppose it's the Filipinos, because they've got a bit more brains than the Indians. Then at the bottom you've got the Indians and all them lot."

So this Ann assumes Brits have more brains than the Filipinos? Or is it that they can suck upto the Arabs well?
And what are the Filipinos famous for, with their fair skin? we know that.
Add to that fair skin game, the Arabs believe Brits when they sign the contracts can trusted compared to Indians who actually do any of the work behind those contracts, shows how stupid the arabs themselves are.
