I posted an add for friend who want a housemaid for few days , and an indian guy called and this happened:
Me: Hello who is this
him: hello where are you from
me: who is this
him : i saw your ad
me: ah, it's for the housemaid , it's not for me it's for a friend
him: where are they from
me: they are old lebanese couples.
he hangs the phone.
I called him again and asked why he hanged the phone, he said he thought they are european
his number is 0563134410.
-------------------------------
Now someone please proceed to explain to me what was this about ? I have friends from many nationalities and from different classes of society, but they all want the same services so why does that matter.
People who still think a nationality or a religion matter are never welcomed into modern society nor will be accepted and i will make sure none of this kind of people gets a job or gets help, because if you're not mentally mature to overcome such stuff , you're not ready to be among the good people

so he was just trolling, damn he got me good, but it really felt angry , anyone who would meet these old couples and see how nice they are wouldn't stand up for them.
Funny that Riyadh has 5 Millions expats so nationality should never matter

NO,no,the thing is you are generalizing ,not all arabs are a bit like you are mentioning ,though there might be some exceptions ,like uneducated ones but most are kind,helping,even funny .Well in every community there are always narrow minded people ,who are quick to judge but not eveyone is like that
