    Just because you don’t live in squalor like all the other kind of foreigners doesn’t mean you are not a second class citizen in Dubai. Arabs in Dubai look down on all foreigners including white foreigners. They basically believe in Arab supremacism.

      This is the key, you are a slave with extra steps. Reading about the travel ban set by her employer, just because they don’t take your passport away, you can still become trapped. I used to have some respect for the UAE, as compared to the other nearby shitholes, they actually invested the oil money they had, and now live off mostly of tourism and trade. Still, the backwards culture and oppressive regime is all the same.
