Discrimination

Last wednesday, 23 Sept me and my friend decided to goto Villagio. We know that it is a holiday (EID). We are both male and no family. When we reach the gate the guard on duty told us that it is only for family today, he show us the notice on the door. We agreed and stood outside together with some Filipinos and other asian nationals. But when we saw a Palestinian bachelor go inside, the guard allow him. We asked him and his reply is... ARABIC NO PROBLEM. This means that only asian bachelor are not allowed inside. It is a clear DISCRIMINATION.

My dear,

Discrimination exists, but I don't generalize across the board.

I came across very decent,kind Qataris and rude expatriates, including my fellow rude Indian nationals.

When I expressed my desire of learning Malalyalam in this forum, my fellow Indian nationals ridiculed!

We need to digest the realities and try to live along. Of course, express our feeling with hope someone will hear it and hope a change come along.

as far as i know, when they say family day, families, couples (man and lady) and group of ladies are allowed except for group of men. In that case, if the arabic guy is alone, then he is allowed to enter.
