Goodbye Dubai. ⇒
16 February 2009, evening time
My big beef with Dubai is that it's (literally) built on the backs of labour from South Asia. Fuck that country.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

Dubai in this world economy…tsk tsk.
On being built on the backs of south asians, Dubai is merely one place.

dear Roshi, Dubai is not built on the backs of Iranians at all! It is with a lot of Iranian money and not Iranian labour. The government of Dubai, if you can call it such a thing, has its own little slave economy thanks to migrant workers from the Philippines and South Asian countries. These people have their passports stripped from them and are living in labour camps on the outskirts of the city…………they work around the clock in scorching heat and do not often get paid for their labour at all. CBC produced a great documentary on this…….Please do not compare the Iranians who often send most of their money and resources to Dubai and/or vacation there to the migrant workers of South Asia it is very offensive and audacious to do so.

Military contractors in Iraq were doing the same thing. If you look into how poor foreign maids are treated its way more depressing.
