I agree with you lion4lion that we are all equal, as does my Somali-American friend. Islam teaches this as well. He simply stated to me his understanding as to how the pay scale is in the Gulf States (though I also agree it is not just and fair)and his opinion as to what characteristics about me Qatari bosses would find of value. It doesn't make one Racist by telling me how people are categorized based on citizenship. Facts are facts. I am not there to judge an employment structure. I am simply inquiring about jobs that may be available to me and attempting to get information as to payscale, etc. My intention certainly was not to offend you or anyone else. It is a completely different structure in Qatar, compared to the U.S.
