Singleguy, frank discussions are always welcome here. However when they start with a question 'I heard Qataris are racist especially towards foreigners who are not white/caucasian and regardless of whether one is Muslim or not. Is this true? How bad is it? How do people deal with it?' it is going to provoke such reactions.
The implication in the question is that you heard that ALL Qataris are racist. This is untrue. At the last count there are about 200 000 Qataris. No-one can say that they are all racist. Undoubtably some are. I can categorically say that not ALL Qataris are racist. I am not. My husband is not. My children are not. My parents and siblings are not. My friends are not. So definitely not ALL of us!
I have lived in the UK and encountered some racism (f*** off home you murdering Arab b*st*rd being one example). However I am not of the opinion that ALL British citizens are racist.
Generalisations are dangerous. Perhaps you were unaware that you were making one.
I wish you well when you come to Qatar if you choose to do so :)
