I was impressed by your post..it was articulate and reflected the kind of experience faced by many...Despite being invited to this countries with several follow ups and counter offers during regular refusals by me...Some frustrated clown with invented parentage from Rhodesia asked me to bogg off...because he could not argue on a better intellectual level...
Couple of supplementary thoughts:
1. Why do you allow visa on arrival to certain nationalities? Don't you queue outside embassies?? Don't you go and spend your money once you go there?? I am happy in our country NO ONE gets visa on arrival...
2. Racism is a thinly disguised sense of inferiority..and its done out of sense of inadequacy...so rejoice..since you have made it big enough to face it...Institutional and state directed one is a different matter..and I guess here middle east takes the cake...(Oh no..I am not ranting for the labourers..Even for citizens in these countries there are 10 types of treatments and its obvious)
3 qd06: "I find it sad but rather amusing that it was ok when it was only directed towards African Americans"- What do you mean??? It was OK with whom??You forgot that the South Africans lived up with the worst kind of international boycott...except for White Anglo-saxon countries...(The same grouping which is crying hoarse on Zimbabwe)
4.Countries and people facing discrimination..do not necessarly learn from it..they do the same to weaker and poorer people..
5.Countries not having clarity and fairness of thought/action are condemned to their destiny controlled by others. "Who is incharge of your world??" is a current hotly debated subject..
