Hello Coldwing, in Dubai, there is no racism in the sense of the regular definition of the word (you know, whites hating blacks or browns and vice-versa).
There is, in my view, some discrimination based on country of origin, religion, and social status. Usually, but not always, Arabs in general have a better treatment in everything. Obviously, the government tries to show otherwise. Also, generally, Brits and rich Indians have a bigger size of the pie as well.
Again, this the view I have formed after being here for seventeen years.
Most of the pilots coming from more "civilized" parts of the world, dislike the city, the driving standards, the culture, and the unbearable heat.
Most dislike the company as a whole. The harsh flight scheduling, the lack of representation from the pilot's group before the management, and of course, the dictatorial management style.
If you need the job, you have to find psychological means to tolerate the whole crap
