Marco to bring the discussion back to the article the essential point isn't the hierarchy of different expats (and no one would really dispute that there is one).

The key point is the allegation that employers "(treat Western Expats) as superior in workplace to all others, including Qataris" and give them more pay.

Can anyone anyone here honestly say that, in general terms, MORE western expats drive S-Class Mercedes Benzs than nationals? MORE western expats are seen in the First Class section of Qatar Airways flights than nationals? MORE western expats are shopping a the high end boutiques at The Pearl? MORE western expats have a huge house with multiple maids and drivers than nationals?
