I wasn't going to respond, but you did say "Correct me if i am wrong."

You say you want ngourlay "simply accepting that what he said is wrong and that he apologies for that." Maybe his apology should go like this:

"I was wrong to say that the authorities in Qatar usually treat rich westerners better than they treat Nepali labourers. This was insulting to Qataris, implying that they are racist, so I sincerely apologize for my error. In fact, now that I have had time to survey a large number of both rich westerners and Nepali labourers, I can report that the Qatari authorities treat them both equally, or in fact give preferential treatment to the Nepalis. In all my future news articles, I will always point out that there is no racism in Qatar, and the government always treats everyone equally. In fact, I will refuse to write any articles about poor labourers who claim they have been discriminated against, since such stories are obviously lies."

There. Feel better now? All ngourlay has to do is sign it.
