The reason why more Asian women are targetted is twofold (1) as a group, they tend to be classified with those who are prostitutes (I'm not saying that only Asian women are prostitutes - goodness, in my country they'd be the exception in that "profession"). In this part of the world there are many Asian prostitutes unfortunately - and most of those have been forced into it (another topic for discussion) and (2) they are less likely to cause any trouble or make a scene because they are afraid of the locals - afraid of losing their jobs, afraid of being accused of prostitution and then prosecution and then jail and then deportation.
As a white western female - I don't have those same fears because the police will tend to take my version of events as more "believable" than an Asian woman in the exact same circumstances(see reason 1 above). It's unfortunate but true in this country and the GCC as a whole.
That's why I counselled Celia to try and get a Westerner's attention to assist her if she finds she needs help again. I'll tell the pervert where to get off and call the police and support her side of the story.
