Not sure how a photo of a communal kitchen and south asian guys cooking fish heads is supposed to repel me.
I’ve lived in china, India and SE Asia. Those few photos didn’t show me anything that was worse than average living conditions in those places.
These people don’t have union protection, the protection of labor and healthy safety laws and are treated as slaves.
They can’t leave and work for their Arab taskmasters for a mere pittance.
Foreign laborers in Qatar and UAE have no human rights and their lives can be taken away as readily as their freedom.
Something that might change your mind. They’ve been dumping raw sewage straight into the sea. Imagine paying the big bucks for a 5 star resort , going to the shore and being overwhelmed with stench.
As compared to squalor, even lower wages and more backbreaking work in stifling heat in their home countries?
When we lived in Japan 1988-2002, I would hire a Filipino lady to come out about once a month to help my wife clean and organize our house. It was a great help with three active children.
The lady loved the modest wage we paid her and the respect with which we treated her and constantly asked if we could find similar gigs for her legion of friends who were working for rich expatriates.
I explained that we were middle class and didn't live much differently from our Japanese neighbors, but in her mind we were rich.
Some Chinese tourist visited India and posted a bunch of photos that were absolutely sickening. Having visited a few Third World countries in the '50s, courtesy of the USN, I thought I had acquired a strong stomach. WRONG.
MAJOR WARNING about what you see if you go HERE.
