Wieners of Lebanon: another Delusional Super Race of the Middle East……….
“But some of the country's top beach clubs that cater to these same spenders are enforcing discriminatory policies against migrant workers, most of whom hail from Asia and Africa, who work in Lebanese homes as maids and nannies. Debate about the blatant discrimination recently reached new heights with an undercover video (above) taken of a popular Beirut beach club. The video, taken at the beachside Sporting Club, shows a cashier repeatedly refusing to grant entry to an African woman from Madagascar, described as a maid, despite the pleas of her Lebanese friends……. But, he conceded, short of examining the working papers of every person who comes to the club, the only means of determining who might be a maid is through racial profiling…….. "Have you ever seen a Sri Lankan tourist in Lebanon? If you're Lithuanian or Russian, you are probably a working girl in a cabaret," said Abu Nasser, referring to the adult entertainment clubs where prostitution takes place……… "They’re not welcome because they are maids, even on their day off," explained Abu Nasser. Salka was not surprised by the reaction.……”
This is the case all over the Arab world, especially Lebanon, Jordan, and the Gulf, perhaps in Israel as well. Yet the profiled (in the US or Europe) are doing a hell of a lot more profiling at home than can ever be done in the West. For example, almost all these cases of European couples brought to court in some of the Gulf states for publicly displaying “affection” involve Europeans of Asian or Arab descent, they are not "European-looking". And Lebanon has become famous for the number of Asian and African housemaids who die “accidentally” on the job as well as those who “commit suicide” by “jumping off buildings”.
At least the Lebanese excel in the culinary arts like humus (no it is not Israeli, anymore than hamburger is from Hamburg or Frankfurter is from Frankfurt, or a Wiener is from Vienna). Come to think of it, a "wiener" is more likely to be from Lebanon than Vienna. Lebanon is full of “wieners”, if you know what I mean. I am almost certain that Lebanon has more “wieners” than Wien itself. As for the rest of the Arab world: oy vey.
