I am an Indian, by the way. I would recognize that, you have been quoted out of context. But many people do that, out of experience. I have been ill treated by white people right here in Qatar. "Ill-treatment" does not mean kicking in the ass. Smiling politely also, somebody can hurt you, if you know what I mean. It happened to me while I was searching for houses. Smiling very nicely, at the same time giving more attention to the european guy standing just nearby, this lady was conveying to me that, "you fool, you cannot afford what this man can". By the way, I could have afforded what she was showing me, but I decided I would not take it.
That does not mean, that, every white person in here are like that. There are abberrations like I described above, of which kind, you may find everywhere in every society.
Gumby, I liked that last bit.
