How people here tend to stereotype workers based upon their nationality (Filipinas are clean and make good hairdressers, Indians and Sri Lankans are good cooks, etc.)?
I have heard workers here stereotype employers the same way. Egyptians do this, Lebanese do that, Qataris are this way...
I know several who, having had one bad experience, will refuse to work for a certain nationality of employer because they had such a bad experience with them before.
And with stories like the ones above, who can blame them? No wonder they usually want to work for Europeans and Westerners instead of Arabs. We don't have a habit of (or reputation for) locking up our household help, beating them, or throwing them off balconies.
