Is the poll really necessary? I don't think anyone is debating if the locals have more privilages than non-citizens. Shouldn't it be like this everywhere ? Just because in certain other western countrys it can acually work against you being a local doesn't mean it is going to be the same everywhere else.
Yes the UAE/middle east has it racist problems. Yes the courts can be very soft, depending on who the individual is and who they know.
But I think they do get it right making sure locals come first with employment issues. How many ghettos are there in dubai full of locals on the dole compared to the UK ?
