em20 - Your answers are somewhat disingenuous. To suggest that, 'There is good and bad about every place and there is racism everywhere as well' is somewhat misleading. To compare the level of racism in California with that in Saudi Arabia is like comparing the anti-semitism around Germany in the thirties with that in England. The treatment of Indian and Filipino workers in Saudi is an outrage that condemns both the shameful behaviour of the Saudis and the blind indifference of the Indian and Philippine governments, who are effectively complicit in the suffering of their own citizens. There is nothing more shameful than seeing your fellow countrymen being persecuted and choosing to do nothing for the sake of convenience. You may indeed be of Indian extraction, but that only makes your willingness to excuse the suffering of your own people at the hands of morally bankrupt and decadent Saudis all the more shameful. The days of the house of Saud are mercifully numbered - we can only hope that what replaces it is not an even more unpleasant group of nutters.
