Some comments from people living in Doha, confirming that its just racism at work, an apartheid recreated in a country with one of the highest per capita incomes......
I was in one of the malls on Wednesday and they were keeping only Asians out of the mall -- including some men who looked like Korean and Japanese businessmen. However, Arab bachelors were allowed in and my friend and I were harassed by several groups of them (not dressed in thobe, btw) who were following us around and making comments
Yesturday I was out with my friend just decided to kill time by going to City center to do shopping and enjoy bowling but was really got ashamed when we were stopped on the gate just being bachelors. Worst part was just next to us was a Westerner and Qatari and that stupid security guard allowed them to go.We are from India, well educated, decent family and well brougt up to behave in public places but we are clueless why we were stopped.
