I guess the topic was nice but got down into personal diatrabes..All the people in Qatar know what facts are...

White people are equally frustrated, quail, now ..that oil companies and most govt. organizations have stopped discriminating on nationalities..and the differences now are mainly on western inducements and even they are nominal..so you can hear daily stories of western expats leaving...

Asian Expats cover a wide range from Labourers to Highly paid specialists..and if they are happy with their lives..so be it..there is no point grousing about what the western guy/gal gets and why??

World is changing and getting competitive..Many western people are loosing their jobs and life styles..take the case of wine makers in france...France is an early indicator of things to come..The earlier days of white is right are gone..employers are focused on skill and actually delievery rather than prejudices...

Point is..Who ever feels he is right in staying in Qatar and is able to save..and it makes a difference to his life..will stay..

There is no reason to play great games of changing the world..after all a RSA Expat can never dream of getting what an American gets at Saudi Aramco...
