There's Arab Racism? Really?

Here:-

...There is something deeply sinister about Dubai luxury...People, nationalities and jobs exist in silos, isolated from each other. You can be in Dubai for days and not interact with a local.  It seems to me a place where the worst of western capitalism and the worst of Gulf Arab racism meet in a horrible vortex. The most pervasive feeling is of a lack of compassion, where the commoditisation of everything and the disdain for certain nationalities thickens the skin to the tragic plight of fellow human beings.

...Dubai's name is becoming stained by the blood of migrant workers.

Let's repeat that:
