and they are all very nice people. they seem more western/european than other arabs, that's for sure.
in my experience, there are people in every country who think they are better than other nationalities. i won't deny that egyptians face some discrimination is some parts of the world, but there was no shortage of them while i was living in cairo who discriminated against africans.
there are racists in every culture that i have seen, unfortunately. i see it here too.
IMHO - part of the problem is that many don't take responsibility for their problems, or their country's problems. it's easier to blame others around you. some people in western countries do it when they blame immigrants for all their ills. some arabs do it when they blame all arab wars/problems on the west. discrimating against others makes people feel superior and it's easier than facing reality.
