How do I know if a Qatari is a Qatari or not?

That was the reason why I suddenly state the doubt of whether a person is having a bad experience with a 'Qatari' or not.

And finally I've managed to reread the article from the newspaper to clarify the previous statement I said about Qataris being hospitable:

Why Doha Should Make The Olympic Cut

-Arab culture and hospitality will provide a memorable experience.

Uhhh...I think I'm fine with my previous topic than this. XD

People, I'm not bashing Qataris in my previous post. I just said 'what?'.

Gold, Whoami, gold (colour of dust)...white is soooo last decade.

I don't have a landcruiser and never will either.

For those who DO get a white one, it's because dust doesn't show as easily (neither do scratches).

...and let the Qataris try it for once, I assure you you'll get the fun out of your life.

The cuteness. the comfort. heck! Even self-maintenance was pretty easy! (that is, if they still sell some parts around here...)

Actually all nice people are Qataris and all not nice people are not Qataris.

We pay the not nice people to pretend they are Qataris just to keep it interesting and maintain our not nice reputation.

I don't understand your post at all.

However, you only know a person is Qatari by asking him.

Many other gulf nationals come to Qatar and wear thobes or even adopt the style of wearing a thobe.

Alot of Qatari's also wear western clothes and are probably thought of as not Qatari.

My friend is Kuwaiti and when he wears jeans, people think he's Pakistani.
