Aisha dont think too much of yourself. I dont know how and why living in Dubai has gone to your head. Please stop defending Dubai whenever and wherever someone rightfully criticizes it. I sometimes wonder if they’re paying you to make up the stuff you say.
Dubai is a potempkin village with the architecture of a modern city but the mentality of a tribal colony. Some people (ahem ahem) are so lost in the glitz that they start to forget how much the locals hate them.
YES nationality does matter. Friends and family on Pakistani passports have been harassed. I’ve been lucky enough to only been hassled.
