Oh Lord. You boys have been overheating in my absence. Calm down now... after all you are professional pilots right?
My one liner was posed as an open question. Not a statement of facts.

There is absolutely nothing racist in my post, but I respect that our opinions might differ on this point.
I suggest that you help your country clean up the dirty operators rather than spending time here accusing people a racism.
A course to bring you ELP a level or two up might even be suggested to Pluto and NG.

I believe there are a number of countries that EK and the other ME carriers do not presently hire from.

racism
ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
noun: racism

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

....in you next post please explain how being against hiring pilots from countries with proven track records of selling inflates flight time has anything to do with racism.

bigotry
ˈbɪɡətri/
noun
noun: bigotry; plural noun: bigotries

intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

....we do agree that overlogging hours and selling hours is a crime, right? Ups there goes bigotry out the window...

There's none as intolerant as those who preach tolerance.

Jeez, some of you guys must be really thin skinned to get offended so easily.
I suggest getting out your guitars, sit in a circle, and have a chorus of Kum-by-ya to relieve all that indignation.

The racist card was already pulled out
I've got an e-mail from an Indian passenger asking me to publish his story on my blog. He complained on one cabin crew who didn't want to give him "a bottle" of whiskey. He found it racist. He claimed that all of the cabin crew behaved differently (better) towards "white" people. He, of course, forgot that not all cabin crew are "white" and that all passengers are not "white" (yet, he was the only one complaining on racism and he probably wrote a complaint form and screwed a peace of mind of some cabin crew (because we all know what happens to staff after that). He even went a step further - he wanted to humiliate that cabin crew on my blog, completely ignoring the fact that my blog is serving for completely different purposes.

Why I am telling you this? Because that guy got the same answer which you are going to get now:

This is not racism. Racism is a strong word and it's used when you feel that someone discriminates you (your physical and mental) abilities because of your skin colour and/or a race you belong to.

Same happened with an guy from India (coincidentally) on LinkedIn who made a whole fuss over an ad of an employer who didn't want to employ Indian nationalities. He called it a "racist ad".

It's ugly, it's wrong, it's an open discrimination and it doesn't say nice things about that employer, but it's not racism. That employer wants to employ people from Africa and other parts of Asia (or USA and France), for example (they have better chances to have dark skin colour), so how was that a racist ad?

I also told a mentioned passenger next thing: complaining on racism where there is no racism on sight is, actually, a misuse of a term and when you misuse it, people who are discriminated by their skin colour are damaged.

You are offended by a discrimination (a joke or question in this case) according to your citizenship . Your country (not your skin colour) is discriminated due to some prejudices or some wrong practices that your country is famous for. Let the people who actually are victims of a serious racism complain on - racism.

@payscale

Again your beliefs are quite wrong ,
Qatar had an assessment in dec 2014,
Emirates in March 2015 and the unmentionable has agreement with Jet
With whom they have inducted pilots on to their wide bodies,

Please come out of your small world

@ Payscale, there was no need for that comment in the first place as this thread is for Emirates Assessment in Mumbai and not for your one liners which would create a situation like this one. You can have any opinion you want but then you would come across as a jackass. And for the ELP level, if you are judging the quality of English based on some written text on a public website then you are really immature and this proves again that you derive great pleasure in making other pilots look bad but constant discrimination about one's nationality or english and so on. I have a ELP level 6 on my Australian Cpl by the way. Your belief about ME carriers not hiring from certain places is again your ego telling you to make your fellow pilots look bad. I fail to understand your mentality and why are you constantly trying to discriminate pilots based on geographical locations. FYI, EK was started with wet lease by Pakistan Airlines and i personally have my Pakistan pilot friends flying for EK and QR which means EK/QR which are ME carriers are not discriminative as clearly you are about the geographical locations of the pilots.
@Nikita81, after going through your journalist type comment it looks like you have no idea what have we been discussing about. Get your facts correct before starting journalism on PPRuNe. Yes people have a right to get offended over discrimination but why have you got offended and got back at replying with some vague comment. Who did even mention you in the earlier posts?
@ Mutely Crew, I hope you are happy in life after trying to make some wise a$$ comment and having a good laugh. It clearly shows you have nothing constructive left to do in life or either that you are so bored that you need put down someone's image to make yourself look good. Get a life dude!
Finally @ pay scale own up to your mistake and admit that you made a comment in the heat of the moment. Apologise and let peace prevail.

Maybe I don't understand what you are talking about, but you've understood my message, obviously.

Yet again, you didn't even have the courage to stick to your opinion. You've just changed it (switched from racism to geographical discrimination) and you don't even admit that. Do you really expect somebody to take you seriously in this debate?

Real victims of racism thank you for lowering the quality and justification of their argument for discrimination.

Lol, i don't need courage to stick to a opinion. But clearly you don't have the courage to support the cause rather than just siding with some nut case to get into the debate for your personal satisfaction. I haven't changed my opinion about anything it is you who is changing the context. The debate is result of narrow minded people like you. So stop wasting everyone's time and lecturing people or posting stories about some stupid passenger, whiskey, linkedin, etc

And EK has never discriminated anyone on the basis of colour or nationality but it is narrow minded people like you who create this barrier. And secondly I haven't complained about racism in the first place. My only issue was when Payscale generalised in his statement that all Indian pilots over logg the hours. So in that context which ever country Payscale belongs is made of fools as he is definitely one and so the whole country has to be filled with foolish people according to his theory.

It's easy to provoke people to show their real faces, don't you think?

It's also easy to get offended, but it's easier to offend (as shown in your previous post).

I am sorry. I can't support an opinion of a man who doesn't have any other goals in life than selfish ones. If you were a real victim of racism or any other kind of discrimination, you would respect people around you because respect is also what you want. Isn't that right?

People always get what they give. At the end. Remember that.

I don't care what opinion you have about me as you are loser for me and i don't need to display my goals to a narrow minded person like you. As for the respect you clearly don't seem to deserve any hence you per your quote no one here is respecting you.
