Well in Lebanon ,,, the picture is not so different ... A couple of days ago .. I had an job interview in a international body ....

Hello Omar …

Well in Lebanon ,,, the picture is not so different …
A couple of days ago .. I had an job interview in a international body …. There … there was an employee from Tanzania at the front office
another lebanese came in ( he was i think an outsource day laborer ) and started mocking the tanzanian guy in arabic off course so that the other wouldnt understand wht he was sayin …
he said words like … your face looks a snake … oh lord … how ugly you are … and stuff like i will bring my pregnant women to look at you .. so that my baby would ressemble you … off course all those expressions punctuated with insults and curses … that I feel embarrased to repeat
the tanzanian guy … didnt really understand the content of the discourse but im sure he felt there was smthing wrong .. so after my fellow country-man left … he asked .. why are you lebanese surprised everytime each time you see a black person

I was so ashamed i didnt know wht to say … i just apologized and said excuse him … he is a stupid racist …

i mean honestly … if i were to compare btw both and if I had to tip the scale .. it would be off course in favor of the tanzanian employee … I mean the guy is makin a sacrifice to leave his country his relatives … his beloved so as to look for a better living …. he is educated … he managed to learn english and he is bearing the stupidity of empty pple like the lebanese who is doin no effort ,,, just bragging about mabe smthing god gave him but where has no absolute credit ….

im not that happy to talk in such a manner about lebanese but like iman … one should say things as they are

when shall we learn to be citizen of this world !!!

I realize it's a generalisation but I'm not going to defend my society knowing that this is completely agreed upon and treated as the norm. I wish this reality would change but no such thing is in sight. Sadly, it only gets worse. Thank you for bringing this to other people's attention. I’m an Omani and can say that this is true.
