I wonder though Choco if it was a local raping a Pakistani boy would you immediately say "see i told you locals get off easy", kinda proving sheikas point.
The root problem is people are getting off too easy, no matter of race or nationality, castration is appropriate for taking a Child’s innocence, when you get lax on crime, crime increases.
Flip side is there is a small group of locals that do believe they are above the law and another group of expats (arab) who dress in local garb, doing so to play into the facad that all “locals” are rich and untouchable, the assholes I’ve met in Kandoras have all not been UAE people, the Nationals I work with treat me very well and work just as hard as any expat, every group has its bad apples and people should be judged for themselves (easier said than done I know but we should all try to be open)
At the end of the day most people on this board want to see the UAE grow and flourish and want to be proud to call this place home, this is only attainable if we all work together.
