For all the people who have left comments of outrage, I appreciate your sympathy it’s very important for all of us to condemn these practices, and by the way it is not only Gulf people who do that, in Lebanon this happens on a daily basis, after all every week at least one migrant worker dies (http://tastekulcha.blogspot.com/2010/01/lebanon-filipina-maid-becomes-first.html) this is because most women i’ve interviewed are subjected to rape, abuse and slave like confinement. Racism is apart of the culture it seems as some University students tell me that they aren’t used to seeing dark skinned people who are not in a position of submission. Even tourists from the Gulf, Europe, Asia and Africa as well as students and professionals are looked upon as the lowest of class (http://simbarusseau.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/as-tourists-flock-to-lebanon-from-far-and-wide-will-racism-desist/)
