I've been through airports in Kuwait, UAE, KSA, and Bahrain. To tell you the truth, I would rather be pulled out by the TSA 10 times than to be talked down to by an uneducated, ignorant, and ill mannered low grade Arab airport security personnel. <br /><br />It might be because you are used to the Gulf's airports way of dealing with people and it does not register with you as outrageous and disrespectful. May be because you're a local. But, I don't know you and you don't know me, I don't mean any disrespect, Gulf airport security staff have too much power and they show it.mab3ooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137654380483612818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291546.post-67352751288808778122009-05-12T01:31:00.000+03:002009-05-12T01:31:00.000+03:00Some seriously hypocritical remarks in that e-mail...Some seriously hypocritical remarks in that e-mail. Suddenly we are not allowed to express outrage at how we are being treated by an airline company simply because of our identity? Please.<br /><br />"DONT COME TO AMERICA AND CANADA IF YOU DONT LIKE THE RULES OK."<br /><br />How ironic that you say this right after claiming that you have been supposedly mistreated in the Gulf, showering that claim with stereotypical insults. I'm a proud Bahraini citizen and I don't deny there are issues against migrant workers in this region, but that doesn't mean we get to be labeled and stigmatized wherever we go. Many of us here are actually fighting against such issues here.<br /><br />I run Migrant-Rights.org which exposes what migrant workers in the Middle East go through, something I know Amira is supportive of and has helped with throughout her own work. We stand firmly against racism and a quick look through the archives of Amira's blog will immediately verify that.<br /><br />Finally, Amira made a complaint against Air Canada. She didn't blame all Canadians. Criticizing a company for stereotypical mistreatment is not racist. The complaints are valid and legitimate and must be investigated by the company's staff, and as a customer she has an absolute right to demand respect.<br /><br />In summary, you, Sir, need to cut us some slack and get yourself a life. Your apparent hatred and intolerance of Gulf Arabs discredits your claim that others are "racist." I mean seriously, what do we have to do to make you see the painful irony in your petty remarks?
