well that is true... however my 18 yrs in doha (i've only been visiting since 2000) were great.
my analysis is that the south asian and south east asian expatriate communities r so large that they just form cliques and circles within themselves, so its all cool.
qatars tourism and visa policy pretty much reflects their tolerance towards other nationalities. on-the-spot visas for americans, europeans and wealthier south east asian n east asian people r readily available. for other ethnicities, its the long drawn application process and in my opinion its easier to pass a driving test in qatar than go thru the pains of a visit visa!
my dad works for an american firm, n we have a few white and arab friends... so far so good really :)
