Respect is a two way street, it is earned and not taken.
Acting dumb or smart DDS??
Respecting the natives of a host country - GENERALLY- is a BASIC & FIXED concept you should have, or else just fcuk off and leave back to where ever you come from.
If you're pissed off from my gov for not granting you a citizenship, then you shouldn't just disrespect others randomly. I'm very familiar with idiots like you who make fun at some Emaratis who can't speak English properly, and we take it with hard feelings.
There is a gap between some of our local youth and the expat community.
If you seriously claim that you lived here long enough, then you wouldn't miss this point, and would've acted more politely with Sarah.
Compare your ugly comment with DK's reply to Sarah, apparently you are a cheap low-class jerk indeed.

There many but not plenty,And those are conscious choices made by people fully knowing that is the requirement, and those places have much to offer. I don't see anyone other that big oil and a few other players making that kind of invesment i.e: simply hire Arabic enabled people to work here for them. The avg joe couldn't be bothered. They will just move to the next most favourable destination.
You think its the citizens who come up with these decisions??
Again you're acting cunning and blaming people for what our government is doing.
MAJORITY OF LOCALS are not happy with how our government is enforcing the globalization concept on us, and NEVERTHELESS since you were offered this chance for a better life here, the least expected from you is to respect our society and the mentality of people here as there is a GAP between the expats community and the some locals living away from the downtown!
Look at yourself and ur background, your country is full of people with such mentality, even worse!
Sarah is from RAK, and generally there are many people in RAK who are very innocent and naive in their mentality and concepts towards life specially the girls and teenagers. Very sheltered and less experience with expats. You already know that, but you're just in thirst to bash someone, expressing your anger towards our goverment for not granting you a citizenship, which you're not entitled to anyways.
Fact is you're not man enough to raise your voice in media and express your anger over there, you only good at bashing people behind your screen.

You forget the world is bigger than the middle east. And the GCC needs the expats more than the expats need the GCC.
Another dumb reply.
Life is about sharing, no one is debating that. But the way you put it only shows your weakness.
U think we are in need for you? Neither locals, nor expats appreciate jerks like you.
If you got any self-pride, you would've left the UAE long time ago, rather than just spending your life-time here cursing the bad policies of this horrible country. The question, why are you still here?? Who is in need for who now?? I'm sure now you agree that sometimes its good to shut up, rather than being arrogant.
Pakistanis in France are forced to learn French language, yet France is smaller than the Middle East.
& it's not a matter of who needs who more, life is more than just one's self interest. And even if France was in "need" for expats, it will still enforce some French language classes on them. This is how it should function.
Ironically, the UK is facing a LOT of issues with forigners including your own people with regard to language! They're hiring translators to deal with them. Brits, French, Germans, and many others are not happy with the way your people just immigrate and settle in their countries without putting much efforts, yet such people keep on abusing the benefits given from those countries. STILL, majority of them got NO loyality to those host countries.
Never in my life time I ever met a European who really appreciated the presence of people like you in their countries, and they're not happy with their government spending toomuch on ungrateful jerks like you.

If your referring to your country mate, no one made fun of her, just pointed out, not lashed out as you assume she could do better specialy being a UNI student. Would be to her own benefit for her future. And why is your case special ?
You can't even fake a nice character, and its not just your lame comments to her.
Everyone is aware of your thoughts and random hostility towards the local society.
My people are not perfect, there are good and bad, but disrespecting us randomly/intentionally only reflects the low-class caste you came from.
For God's sake, even here in DF you got such a bad reputation. Go figure out your two-way street of respect!
