Genesis--I have not been to a country yet where workers were not being exploited, often times by their own countrymen. The rich-poor gap and the nationality quasi-caste system just make it easier to identify in Qatar.

I too am conflicted about family day. It is racist--I've never seen a single white Westerner or anyone in a thobe stopped at the entrance of a mall--but then I know my wife feels much more comfortable shopping on family days.
