Maid, 26, tied to tree as punishment for leaving furniture outside in the sun

- siruncledrew 7y agoThe "privileged" wealthy Arab Gulf states have a more laissez-faire approach to looking out for foreigners and exploitation. It's not even particularly about religion, as various "employers" in these countries don't treat other Muslims any better (i.e. Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Indonesian workers). Those who are not Arab, and are not citizens, are of a less valuable lower class. There is huge cultural pride in being an Arab from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, or Bahrain. They've had a complete desert-to-riches transformation in 1-2 generations. However, it turns out "living the high life" makes some employers feel like kings of the kingdom, and the foreigners are there as the serfs to do the unappealing dirty work. Not every Arab is rich and does this, there's just some that have a more medieval style of wealth.
