Slavery was officially “abolished” last among Gulf Arabs during the 1950s-1970s. If you leave the cities & go deep inside the desert communities, you will still see small-scale slavery. In the cities, there are many indentured servants from various countries, who are beaten, abused, & in some cases executed at will. Slavery or not, Middle Easterners look down on blacks (that’s putting it lightly, frankly) & unlike westerners, aren’t ashamed to express it in public.
