Kuwaitis are Racist?
Nibaq just gave me a link to a blog of a dickhead who seems to be really pissed at Kuwaitis because they don’t want to be his friend. He thinks Kuwaitis are the most hypocritical, racist, godless, backward country he has ever seen! Whats worse is the comments of some Kuwaitis that agree with him! [Link]
Update: This is a picture of Michael Cornn the dickhead. [Link]

I know this would mean the end of my Blogging relationship with you ( I hope not) but why are you so offended with that expat?!
It’s onething to disagree with someone and another to attack him and turn it into personal insults.
This person was stating his opinion towards Kuwaitis according to his own personal experience. He might be right or wrong, its a matter of opnion, you dont have the right to attack him and call him names.
No one called you names when you attacked Palestinians and called them backstappers, because its merly your own opinion and everyone is entitled to his.
This person might be wrong for generalizing ALL KUWAITIES, but again its a matter of opnion.
Peace

Palforce YOU are such a hypocrit. You said I have no right to call the guy names for hating all Kuwaities and that no one called me names when I said I hated Palestinians, BUT the fact of the matter is I DID get called names and YOU were one of the people who called me a name.
Secondly, like this person has a right to state his opinion I have a right to attack him, the same way I still let you state your opinions on my blog and the same way I let people state there pro palestians opinions when I was stating my anti palestinian ones.
My advice to you is that you should keep your opinions to yourself, not because you are not allowed to share them here but because everytime you share an opinion of yours it destroys any credibility you might have. For example now we all know what kind of hypocrit you are. Can’t believe you actually took the time to move the topic of conversation on to me instead of that fucker who thinks kuwaities are the biggest fuck heads ever. I am starting to see now why you were defending the palestinians… you must have some kind of relationship to them.

Palforce i just realized you copy pasted this exact post of yours on Michaels website, you’re such a fuckhead. Now that kind of immature move got you banned from this site. You’re such a loser!

Dear K
“Me thinks he was taken to a diwaniya in jahra and shown a thing or two.”
Being a jahrawi myself I’m quite offended, and NOOOO you are not being a racist by saying that, no sir.
Thanks

Okay i know I’d probably get flamed by this (hope not) but you can’t deny that racism does exist among some Kuwaitis, as a Kuwaiti I’ve seen it all, the most popular is sect discrimination. As for the abuse and mistreatment of foreign workers well the Kuwaiti newspapers reports such crimes daily. Sad but true racism exists everywhere, and i disagree with Micheal when he generalized, not all Kuwaitis are as he description. I say instead of attacking each other we should better ourselves, i respect all peoples opinions even if they don’t agree with me, but that doesn’t mean that i should attack them personally.
Thanks & peace to you all :)

“I tailed him for about twenty minutes after that. As soon as he pulled over, I was going to show him what happened when you pulled that shit in America.”
I would have payed money to see that.

Misguided you are indeed truely misguided. May Allah give you guidance. You just called Michael as ‘miskeen’ which validates what Michael was saying all along that: Kuwaitis and Arabs are RACISTS!!!

Ahmed, does feeling sorry for anyone like for reference that american dude with the bad experience here in kuwait translates you as a racist?, that’s just plain weird and incomprehendable, you need to chill out and get rid of your compexity my friend :)
note: these words surprisingly came off a person who’s kuwaiti, arab and muslim! my god imagine that!, get a life.. (no flame intended :P)

Dear Ahmed,
To feel pity for someone as full of presumptiveness, misunderstanding, and arrogance as Micheal is the only thing one can do. It’s pointless to care about or give real credence to what he says, because he sadly thinks the world (including Kuwait) exists only according to his terms and perception. As an American, he has failed to acknowledge the fact that racism, ignorance and injuctice are as rampant there as the opposite of each of these terms. The good and the bad always go hand in hand, no matter where you are.
One is only left to say: “Allah yahdeek Inshallah, ya Mr. Michael”

Cornn’s comments show the utter stupidity of companies that do nothing to alert employees bound for places outside the USA of cultural differences. Other than Saudi Arabia most arab countries will try to make foreigners reasonably welcome IF, repeat IF an attempt is made to learn the customs. Cornn was ticked off with TSA on leaving the USA, so he is the one who appears to have a problem, not the rest of the world.

Woah! that’s some blog.
No one is a whatever-head. Keep your cool people. No one has the right to abuse, but everyone has the right to talk/blog/speak their minds.
Such blogs sure anger us all once in a while, whether you are a Kuwaiti or a non-K. But what cannot be accounted for is the string of badluck some people seem to have.
Important Note: Everyone sees what they have to see. If you come into a country wearing green glasses while the localities wear blue ones, don’t be offended if they see the world in a different way than you do.
” He thinks Kuwaitis are the most hypocritical, racist, godless, backward country he has ever seen!”
I’m not sure how many would disagree with that but the point that is to be emphasized here is Not what Kuwaitis’ critical qualities are, but how one shouldn’t narrow one’s views to a generalization.
Also, as I usually remind people; diamonds are not found in the gutter, so one should stop looking for the right things in the wrong place. [I.E.: Good Kuwaitis and good people in general wont be found out lolling.]
Sometimes one has to change his attitude towards people to get a better feedback from them.
