Obvious racism here Qatar....

By RichC

Im not gonna make this long and drawn out...FYI! This is only about me, and not the other forms of discrimination we all know about here....i dont really care...right now i care about me. Im white...American...and muslim. I work for a Saudi company, so I dont make the $ other Americans and Europeans make...when i look for a room to rent....all i see is "indian only, filipino only"...this is totally NOT fair. I make many phone calls...and i get rejected over and over again when they hear my obviously American English. This whole situation BLOWS!!! I am strongly considering moving into the companies "accomodations" in the industrial area....at least there I would have inidiscriminate company....

i've read the thread,

it has much of fun than real serious topic to solve an issue, but many posts were nice show sympathy with Rich,

even i'm new here but i believe that any employer considers the accomodation rates in Qatar, which should be aware of before coming to Qatar,

even some can safe from their accomodation allowence, through sharing either with others or renting with cheaper prices.

at the end Rich could to solve his problem, and have an isolated room :), and he won't be bothered by any, and this is the nice end of the story :)

I hear you. The place sounds nice. I am even a little jelous of the outdoor and fire pit! That is something missing from my hotel-like accomodation. Hopefully some space of your own and fresh air will tame that 'very tern' side of you or at least the negative part of it you are refering to. Yes a beer is in order, cheers.

PS> you called me dude, haha! Yes, I have been called a dude before but even if I fit the bill it doesn't mean I am a stoney lil space caddet with crispy-fried brain cells.

you made me smile. Im impressed with this relatively well thought out, or at least well executed, response. First of all, we could very well be in near perfect agreement....and yani maybe (did i just say that twice? lol)i jumped the gun a little and took ur words out of context. so i will try to help u understand me a lil better...condensed version...my fairly liberal lifestyle is not uncommon in this culture &/or religion, however u wanna label it. im not saying its right, or good, but its not uncommon...just look at all the bars in bahrain packed on the weekends....gracious? yes....modest? no way jose....not good at it, nor do i care to be.

My apologies for attacking ur apparant lack of live and functioning brain cells....ur intelligence is no longer in question, and this response is not emotional, but rather logical.....thbtthbthbthbthbt

hehehe.....also.....im a &%^$ hairs breadth away from letting loose my very western side and just taking what i want (excluding a job, thats gotta be begged for...lol)....ive just been tryin to be mr nice guy for too long, i think.....changin my way of living here similarly to the driving style ive adapted in many places..."if u dont drive like them...u get run over by them"......anyone for a beer? ROFLLLLLLLLLLL

read in context rich, i didnt use those words in an offensive way at all. Just pointing out the 'contravesial' nature. Im not trying to act like some expert on the issues or whatever it was that offended you enough to qasi-threaten me??? If you have really evolved into this gracious and modest person why do you feel the need to puff up and your chest and tell me what you would have done in your earlier days? ...and then insult me for what??? Every obsevation I have made about you is based on things you have written here, what do you know about me to make you 'consider the source.' What r u judging my mental capacity on again? is it because im not exhausting my vocabulary on a simple internet forum? I have not stated my stance on any real issue here and for some reason you think you know something about my mindset? Who knows, we could be in near perfect agreement but you wouldnt know it by blindly insulting me. In fact, so far we have agreed on most of what i have written other than this defensive retoric. I know your catching chit from every angle on this one but ease up for a min... Have you found a place yet or what?

FriedUnicorn said Rich...It's not about racism. It's about being practical. ..."

Yes, but it's also about incorrect perceptions and dismissing people without really listening to them to see if they are suitable tenants.

The local perception of the whites is GENERALLY lack of a value system that is in line with Islamic principles. NB: I said "generally". The Western concept of fundamental liberties and freedoms are a little over the top for the locals. They won't tell it to your face as it's not the custom to.

But I only hear this problem about the singles - male or female (more difficult). Those with families are generally fine with accommodation - but they have other issues eg. expensive schooling etc.

Let me first start by saying...I agree! If i didnt know me, I would think I sounded a like a bit of a troll, too. However, I also know "stuff" happens. As far as my attitude...Im actually quite likeable and loyal. I certainly do have an obnoxious streak, but that has been curbed for a while...maybe I should let it loose some, eh? The recent events I have posted about are just unfortunate. They're not a reflection of me as a person or my "lifestyle", which is actually kindof boring. lol...99% of my friends and associates are not white...and I have no problems "adapting" (lol...not at all). And motez, no worries friends. Im not minding them at all. There was a time that i would fight for less, when someone used the words palestine, islam and troll in the same sentence...that person wouldnt have gotten up. But today, considering the mindset, limitied mental capacity and propensity for smugness and superciliousness that I have seen lately, I have decided to let bygones be bygones. I cant take those words so seriously...especially considering the source. So, with that said...I am enjoying hearing all different perspectives and appreciate and thank you all for your participation.

Dont mind the ppl on here... you are asking for help and yet they call you a troll and say Indians have power and all that nonesense... next time take a weapon with u and start beating their asses if they get near you. You cannot show mercy... I dont. If your waiting your turn on the cash register like a normal human... youd have 50 hindus jump infront of you and pay for their crap and let you wait. So you need to be just like them.. BE RUDE, BE OBNOXIOUS... its the only way. And remember.. "nice guys finish last" so keep it in mind. As for finding a home... I asked a friend of mine and he said he will look. I will send u a PM right when I find out. Good luck with everything.

@ rich,

read my message post again, I was nto saying that you are one of those that is floating along on your complection. I was just ng out that there are many here like that so as to say, if they can do it why cant you. If you are in fact skilled that should make it even easier. I am sorry that you cant find a home and that you got jumped but with the number of hot-button subjects you have touched on you must admit that you sound like a troll. Mugging, Palestine, Islam, America, wife/gf, abnormal racism... Just trying to show you what it looks liek from the outside looking in, at least to me.

Its not racism, even me I will not believed that a western person like you will rent a room as sharing we know that asian people and western people are different in culture, lifestyle and most of all salary. Also, like me we prefer to share with same nationality since its not difficult for us to adjust, its very difficult if you cannot understand the way of life and attitude of every person. Its not by means we don't like you. Okay? :)

Well...do i have great luck lately or what? First off...thurs nite i was jumped by 5 or 6 indians near sofitel area....i didnt wanna fight..but they gave me no choice...pulled a muscle in my ribs...and man that hurts. Then, friday...i went to the apt that i found for 2500...fully furnished whole 1 bedroom apt...and the agent said he wont rent to me. I said to him, thats kinda racist, isnt it? his reply? "Oh, no! It's nothing like that. It's just that you're white!" HAHAHAHA....omg...and of course...he was also indian. wow....im waiting to see whats next, as they say these things come in 3's. lol

I am an American also, and to be truly honest... I haven't witnessed any racism towards me but your experience might be different. But I noticed you said you can only afford 2k-2.5k for an apartment. I haven't seen that yet... unless you want to share with someone else, but I doubt that you will since you have a wife and a kid. I will ask around for you, if you are still interested but I highly doubt it. From what I noticed the price ranges are mostly 5k-10k a month.

how interesting...fake? not in the least....now, i didnt exactly say she suggested getting a gf...if u read the post, you'll see my exact words...and, btw...when i gain some exposure in my current field, yes i will use my paleness to my advantage. But, please. Dont call me fake...this isnt a "character" and im not playing games. And as far as being talentless and otherwise jobless back home and only floating along on "blue-eyedness"...lol...ur a joke, dude. you sound like a typical american...i was born in FL...i have blue eyes...and am highly talented in a myriad of different fields. Im here for my reasons......

There are so many good people responding to this, and I thank you. Then there are the classless xenophobes who are really ruining the experience for the rest of us...GET A LIFE!!!

Real or not this guy is a peice of work! Muslim American, ok... Wants cheap rent, ok... Muslim drinker??? muslim adulteror...

If I were this guy I would be trying to use my nationality to my advantage and get another job that pays better. I see tons of whites here that otherwise would be jobless back home because they are not skilled but are simply floating along over here on the ole blue eye complex. I dont agree with racism or using it to your advantage like that but if you have a family to take care of do what you gotta do

the only difference, lebanese wife would never suggest her husband to get a GF.. whilst the palestinian one probably would who knows...

I just posted in the other thread something very similar. I said, it is next to impossible to find sharing accommodation for western female. At least you are a MALE, you have much more options then FEMALES have...

And here you go, another example why male would share accomodation with female.

But it is not rasism at all.. It has nothing to do with rasism... It is just about who you want to share your space with... I myself would never share the flat or villa with indians. Not because i don't like indians, but simple because I cannot smell their food, it makes me literally sick..

so keep looking, dude... good luck...

Lobot If a Keralite Indian prefrs only Keralite , and a Mumbai Indian from his own state , there is a reason behind it.

The difference in their mother tongue, culture, cusine...etc etc. so dont worry about that and see a gud dentist :)

Cool down man. Discrimination exists everywhere and in this global village we often stand chances of being minority. It’s the case here but it’s not the end of the world.

With some patience and perseverance and humility you can get what you are looking for.

When you call try to low your tone of voice, sound as much as possible humble and you'll eventually get your bedsapce for less than 1000 QAR.

Good luck

Ok let me tell you my story RichC, I don't make too much money either and could afford only sharing accomodation.. Pinoy said Filipinos only, Most Indians said from South india Only, Muslims said Muslim only but I never considered that racism, it's just their desire to live with people from their part of the world. I lived in a hotel for one month and paid huge sum of money, for me it was huge anyway as I couldn't find a place to stay even after one month. I didn'tt even know about this site back then otherwise could have posted classified here but to call it racism??? I don't think so..

Well at least he has the company accommodation as an option, some of us have to pay out of our little salaries for rent.

What you are referring to is not racism, its just the right of freedom to chose who one prefers to live with, and that differs from nationality to nationality. You should respect "Rights & freedom", isn't that what all ye Emricanz talk bout?

It's an unusual situation RichC. Most American passport holders would be automatically offered better salaries. Wouldn't it be easier to go back and work in the US than work for this paygrade over here?

Anyway good luck with whatever you do. You should be able to find a non-racist roommate eventually.

Didnt hear any American or European going for a shared accommodation...that is mostly for the nationalities you mentioned and thats why you see it like that...if you cannot go for a villa as you say you dont make like other Americans or Europeans then try going for an apartment.

I will attempt to refrain from name calling, but you have really struck a chord with me. In my country, Im a traitor...converting to a religion thats not mainstream for my "race"....BS.....in the ME....im an outsider....Ive even been accused of not being "really" muslim...or not a "real" muslim....so...depsite my OBVIOUS skin color...im labeled...so here in qatar...i act like everyone else thinks i should...and yes, there are advantages....but if my post was READ properly...i cannot go in for a villa, as i do not make that kind of money. My life circumstances are different than other "whiteys".....i didnt come here from america...as u see in my picture my life is different than urs (Thats Yasser Arafat, for those that are "ignant"). I have a wife and baby that live in Palestine caring for her dying father...... and have experienced multiple fronted racism/discrimination many times....so.....as i work here tryin to earn a living for my family, i cant even find peace in my off time cuz i am not allowed to live where i want....im relegated to begging for a room...and expensive one i cannot afford....just cuz im flippin (almost said it...lol) white!

Nothing odd about it, perhaps the people looking for room mates prefer people from their own region for various reasons, and seriously a whitey living with a mallu for example..let me know how that works out for you :D
