I stayed at the millineum airprt once and a local resicent came in dressed like they do and the management told him he was not allowed in the bar. He was forced to sit outside. Is this common and does it make the local residents mad?

Its sad but then again in most countries, these places have dress codes. I doubt for example in Germans can go to clubs in their countries dressed in tradional clothes....

He didn't seem to be angry.

I noticed that many can look very calm but are boiling on the inside.

some bar's require a dress code .and that why they didnt let him in.

Yes I guess some bars/clubs require a certain dress code,and the dishdash,maybe wasnt on the list probably not discrimination,and it wudnt work anyway!You cant discriminate against the locals of a nation

as a national really didn't like what some people think of the way we dress + do u think we give a s**t about what other people think. This is who we are this is how we dress. not forcing anybody to like it. But we force you to respect it. and if you think u don't like it then u r in the wrong place dude.
the guy who was not allowed to the bar. well, why go there at the first place, why u wanted to look so diff from ur srounding. if he want to drink there are so many other places .. just keep it to urself we don't need to see u.
but still know there are peolpe know how to respect and some need to be tought to respect.
mind my spelling not i the mood to spell check it

Considering it's your first post, you might have thought about the way it comes across. And had you actually read some of HP's other posts, you'd have realised that he's a troll who's sole purpose round here is to wind people up!

National dress is very nice, I think it looks great. However, yes you do have to be careful where you go, as the ministry clearly states that national dress (ANY) national dress should not be worn in clubs or bars, it's not just aimed at UAE nationals.

Also repsect has to be earnt! You can't force people to respect you!

i just open link and been thinking what is wtf this white boy doing in that 'Lungi'

lungis are quiet nice i wear it all the time basically you get a cloth and wrap it around your lower part of the body and give it a good knot so that your lungi doesnt come off when your walking down the street and wink at some girl and all of a sudden your lungi comes off so if you cant get a knot then TAPE it

Discrimination against locals happens,through things like firms preferring to employ an expat over a local.

Well that's all changing isn't it with the nationalisation programme. But sadly that situation happens because 'some' locals give a bad impression of being lazy and not willing to work.

Even the two national ladies that work with my father tell him not to bother recruiting national, particularly men as they can't be bothered to work. That's coming from nationals, against nationals.

It doesn't help that the thought of firing a local is enough to send any firm's boots quaking.

Don't have to worry about that, those that can't hack it, quit anyway.
