Just spoke with a man from UAE and I was so puzzled and shocked by his response. He said I looked like the Filipino workers. I assumed he meant mixed or more affluent Filipinos who don't always look like the majority population but he said I would be considered a regular full Filipino. Here in the S...

This is the most sarcastic forum I've encountered. Is it an Arab thing or an expat thing or the mix of both? Yeah yeah I know what I am but how would you like being of English, French, Irish, Norwegian, Spanish, Lithuanian descent and having people tell you that you must be adopted, have lying paren...

^Oh really when Bjork visits Arab countries is asked to dust or offered a price since she looks just like a 'pure' Filipino?

Would somebody just tell her she looks cute, which is the only reason you'd post your picture on a forum full of strangers.

Apparently it seems all non-Arabs look alike in Dubai so it doesn't matter because you see me walking by every minute.

Unfortunately it's a sad fact that many nationalities get stereotyped here very very quickly, just the way it goes unfortunately. Russians, Uzbeks and Morrocans have the same problem. Yes you do look slightly Filipino, I'd never say that Bjork look Filipino to be perfectly honest. I have a few Dutc...

I already mentioned I was from the States. So does any female have the 'hooker' reputation. I'm assuming the UAE natives don't but is everyone else 'hooker' reputation by default. Is it that bad for women?

If someone wins my heart, I'm very loyal, patient and trustworthy. I won't treat that person like a god but good enough without getting psychotic. That's as romantic as I get. Now if I don't love someone which is almost all the time, I'm not romantic at all. Romance is a waste IMO if it's not for so...

But aren't public belly dancers considered well how shall I say.....not the type to bring home to mama? I don't live over in UAE so I don't know the culture but I have some Lithuanian (Tatar) heritage so we hung out with Turks, Egyptians and Persians. Dancing in the home was okay but a 'nice' girl d...

erm ok, but being from a certain country, doesn't necessarily make it your original ethnic background, like someone could say they're British but be black, or Asian, Chinese etc in actual origin. There is rumor in the family I have 'original' American ancestry like Blackfoot or Iroquis. Don't know ...

^So overall is Dubai a nice place. Are you native or there to earn money to leave? Are you guys retired? Do you live in this luxury? Is it nice living in a country with preconceived stereotypes? I know there are stereotypes everywhere but you guys make it appear more extreme in Dubai. I'm a simple h...

Hi, I'm a female looking for an affordable place to stay for 2 or 3 weeks in Dubai around September. I just want to take a vacation somewhere new using my airline miles. I'm not familiar with public transportation but as long as the area is nice and safe within walking distance or public transportat...

I just saw that. Interesting a Thread for Veterans. Are there a lot of Veterans in Dubai? American ones? My fellow Americans seem so brainwashed by the media on the War and Terror and stuff. Good for them if some are in Dubai. Some want McCain because he's a veteran but isn't Ron Paul a veteran too?

I am not an Asian lady and as some already know I get upset if mistaken as such but may ALLAH protect these Thai, Chinese, Filipina or any other woman for the horny thoughtless men who think with their lower head then upper head and hearts. These women may do 'immoral' things but at least they do it...

^Tia Carrere is mostly of Filipina ancestry. She's from Hawaii. Of course she's all American and really looks it but she doesn't look as American as fellow Hawaiian Kelly Hu. Tia plays up Chinese and Spanish ancestry but isn't that what most Filipinos do anyway? funny, Tia used to be married to a Le...

I hate to say it, but they're all very similar. Really? You really think the 4 non-filipinas (and they are non-Asian too) I posted look like the Filipinas? Wow. Is it like totally homogenous in the UAE that a brunette German looks like an Uzbek and they in turn look French-Peruvian? :? So is the UA...

I'm not vain. How would you like to be a woman of French, English, Irish, Spanish, and Lithuanian ancestry like myself and have random Arab men come up to you asking if you're from the Philippines because the maids and beautycams(I don't know what that is) are from there?

^So I see then. So if I were to meet Pinoy for example and KNOW he's Filipino then HE needs to take medication if I tell strangers he's Japanese even though I know he isn't because he told me.
