“How can you have a servant at home who keeps their own passport with them? What’s worse is they have one day off every week,” she said in a video posted online, which has gone viral and attracted criticism in the Middle East and the Philippines.
Alqattan slated reforms introduced in May to protect the rights of Filipino domestic workers: “If they run away and go back to their country, who will refund me?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/23/who-will-refund-me-kuwaiti-star-ignites-row-over-filipinos-days-offA Kuwaiti social media star is facing a backlash after criticising new laws improving conditions for the country’s Filipino domestic workers.
Sondos Alqattan, an Instagram star and makeup artist with over 2.3 million followers, criticised new laws giving Filipino workers a day off per week and preventing employers from seizing their passports.

A lot of Indian immigrants also bring their caste mindset to the US. I used to live in a community that was 25% Indian. Occasionally, one of them at the supermarket would try to walk right in front of you in line. Fortunately, they usually never experienced conflict so you could just tell them to get the fuck to the back. My experience is that it does not carry down to the 2nd generation.
If you’re not Indian, your “caste” is effectively nothing, the lowest caste. That’s why almost nobody converts to Hinduism. Aside from having to believe in a bunch of silly looking gods, you’d be signing up to be the lowest class of Hindu society. Much better to be and stay a foreigner.
Oh and yes, uppity Indians of higher castes will back off if you call them out.
Low caste Indians tend to convert to Christianity in fair percentages. Lots of incentive!

Do you guys even know what is caste? Is your knowledge about caste from "english authors"? Its not low caste hindus who convert to christianity. It is uneducated hindus who convert to christianity. They are gullible and believe all the shit missionaries preach.
Disobedient slaves are a lot more fun because you get to punish them so much more.

They also converted to Islam in large numbers historically, resulting in Pakistan and a large Muslim population still in India.
Apologists for Islam do have the point that there is no caste system in Islam.

The real reason they convert is to be an equal, and not be treated as a low caste. Why would anyone want to live as an inferior being when they can live as an equal?
I think any low caste Hindu who does not convert is gullible to believe they are inferior and low caste. They should convert to any other religion, preferably to none, but definitely not to Islam.
If you guys really want to talk about conversion. Find out how long it to took to convert europe to be christian continent. How long it took to convert whole of middle east to be muslim. How long it took to convert the americas to be christian.
Even after 1000yrs of invasions (800 yrs of islam and 200yrs rule of christians) India is still majority Hindu...
Now these invaders after looting for so many years are talking about their superior culture. Think of any other culture which can retain its roots even after constant seize for 1000yrs.
Do you think they are treated equally even after converting. Do you think african-american are treated equally after converting to christianity?
The Kuwaiti was a domineering entitled bitch. So this article sounds quite familiar.

Are you saying they are better off being inferior under Hinduism? Really?
Christianity does treat them better. Buddhism treats them better.
Prejudice against low caste Indians is wide-spread, Often the police don't investigate. If you ever hear some wisecracking Dem voting Indian blather about the KKK, note there hasn't been a KKK lynching in the US in many decades, but this is quite common, happening frequently in India:

former India, which was 100% Hindus, and now barely 50% and declining
Strategist saysformer India, which was 100% Hindus, and now barely 50% and declining
Wikipedia has it at almost 80% Hindu:
79.8% Hinduism
14.2% Islam
2.3% Christianity
1.7% Sikhism
0.7% Buddhism
0.4% Jainism
0.9% others
I am ok with such educated conversion.

You found an 7 yr old article to make your point? if you see these news its mostly in impoverished states. Its like in US 1940-50s maybe. Once such places develop you will see less of such incidents.
Former India is supposed to be all of Afganistan,pakistan, bangladesh, tibet, myanmar and India. Now india is 50% of landmass compared to its previous self. I think Strategist is talking about that. Not the population of present India.

Who the f are you to be telling other people which of their religious beliefs you are "ok" with? Please enroll this gentleman in remedial "America 101".

I dont care about individual's right to religion.
I care about mass conversion and the hatred they spew after conversion.

Dude, do you know the whole reality of India, or you just read western media about India's news? The new generation does not care about other's religion or caste. Its the older people who are like that. Just like the old racist people in US, they dont know nothing better. They just have to die.
I care about mass conversion and the hatred they spew after conversion.
Well you must be part of the older people who are like that based on your comments.
indc saysI care about mass conversion and the hatred they spew after conversion.
I don't care about what they think or do. I care that they start spewing shit after conversion. The problem is with abrahamic religions which want to spread using hatred.
They have concept of "my-way or high way"

Really? I don't see any love by the so called superior borns, for the inferior borns.
indc saysThey have concept of "my-way or high way"
And Hindus don't? Ever considered making everyone equal?
300 million Gods, and not one of them could prevent starvation. Not one of them stood up for equality. Not one spoke out against the caste system. I would normally never ask anyone to give up, but after 300 million Gods with no success? I think you really should give up.
Can you please tell me which GOD considers everyone equal? Are you equal to Hitler since you are both christians?
Hinduism says all are not equal based on their deeds. Hinduism considers everyone is part of GOD. so we dont have to be afraid of GOD. The caste devisions are mostly class devisions.
indc saysCan you please tell me which GOD considers everyone equal? Are you equal to Hitler since you are both christians?
None. No God I know of considers everyone equal. All Gods are phony's. I am an atheist.

Really? What wrong deeds did a newborn born of a low caste ever do? Why is that baby and it's future generations deemed to be inferior for ever?
You will never win an argument by supporting primitive beliefs deemed immoral and against the law in this country. Even India made the caste system illegal, but as we can see, it still persists.
Good that you are an atheist, I am an atheist too.
But only religion that recognizes atheism is hinduism.

How is that possible with 300 million Gods? You must be talking about Buddhism. It has no God. It's the most peaceful of major religions.
Buddhism is an offshoot of Hinduism, but as I don't believe in reincarnation, I would make a rotten Buddhist.
I would admit, Hinduism is a much better religion than the Abrahamic religions. The worst part of Hinduism is the caste system, which comes close, but not close enough to slavery that Abrahamic religions endorsed.

Apologists for Islam do have the point that there is no caste system in Islam. A Pakistani friend pointed out that that's only in theory though, and that the Arabs of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries have nothing but contempt for darker-skinned Muslims.

Regarding your comment "uppity indians of higer caste". Dont be a dick. It is not higher caste, its higher class

When I was studying in Ann Arbor, there was a Kuwaiti woman downstairs from me who kept an Indian slave. There is no other way to describe it. The poor slave woman was not allowed to leave the apartment, ever, and was very badly treated. Very timid. The Kuwaiti was a domineering entitled bitch. So this article sounds quite familiar.
