Marjorie in Qatar

I didn't say ALL Qataris treat laborers or maids poorly! I said that Qataris on the whole are not welcoming and respectful to low-skilled immigrants. I think that this country does not have a culture of respect for those workers, as evidenced by the lack of legal protections for such workers. That does not mean I think that every individual Qatari is a mean person -- I wouldn't have stayed here for 6 years if I had such a low opinion of Qatari people. :-) I should have been more clear that I was making a very generalized statement there, in response to the other commenter's very generalized statement that Qataris are respectful and welcoming to outsiders.
