I think it's slightly worse than the rest of the world. The Emiratis certainly do behave like the self-entitled super rich, but I'm hoping that those expats are worse than us "comfortable folk". I liked how one person in the article stated that the only people who come there are those who couldn't succeed in their own countries. They're the losers of the world, rewarding themselves with ridiculous salaries and fluffing up their failing self esteem by abusing their servants. That's certainly how I'd describe the only person I know who has moved there (yes I do know someone working there now), well, at least the "couldn't make it here" part of it, I hope he hasn't turned into a drunken, abusive asshole.
Great article anyway. I wish there was something that could be done to make things better there (or to wipe it off the face of the earth which is probably the best solution), but I'm not even sure where one would start.
