Racial Descrimination at Villagio Mall

Why is it happening here in Doha? I was with my family in villagio mall last friday afternoon. I witnessed how the guards of the mall treated bachelors of different nationalities. Yes, it was friday and it is a Family Day.. White skin and arab BACHELORS were allowed to enter the mall whereas asian bachelors (filipinos, sri lankans, indians, indonesians, nepalis,etc.) were not allowed to enter... If they want to implement it.. it should be fair...They should not allowed all bachelors regardless of race to enter their mall. Can anybody explain it?.

i've seen that also (couple of times).. and i hope those establishment/mangers involved implementing this rule should look into this and practice fairness....

They need to stop using the word bachelor and just be more honest and open (haha) about what they are really doing.

No one is banning bachelors. A bachelor will not be stopped. Groups of bachelors go to the movies and to the shops and to the cafes and wherever they want.

They are just banning asian men. Simple.

are also testing the water, meaning, testing the patience or tolerance to inhuman treatment of these particular bachelors.

Time will come they will realize their mistakes and hopefully can still recover lost opportunities which they misjudged.

That's just how they want it now, I suppose. It sucks.. I just hope they do something about it soon. After all, the workforce here in Qatar mostly compromises of bachelors. Sigh.
