Racism in Lebanon?!
Saw this on Instagram and wanted to talk about this. Look there are two sides to this problem here, first it is the right that a citizen should always come first for job opportunities no matter what country you live in so her saying “I thought we come from the same place” is just bullshit. But the other side to this problem is that we cannot be this prejudice towards certain nationalities; we can't say “Hey, since you're Palestinian or Syrian we can't hire you”, but if you're European or American or from a Gulf country we have no problem with hiring you. Lebanon is in a precarious situation where we have Palestinians who can't go back to their country. I'm not defending the owner nor am I attacking him and the same goes for both ladies but we need a solution here where Palestinians can work and not be harassed, and for our people to also secure jobs.
