Racism in dubai

• I am a Coloured South African women, but falls under black. Because of my skin colour I am not allowed to marry my boyfriend who is from dubai.Due to the fact that it is culturally unexceptable and it will cause to much friction and noone will ever except me.Even his family does not want to give their consent and blessing. They say it will cause to much pain towards their son and will bring a shame on the family. Do I always have to go through cultural discrimination and cut off my love because my skin colour is not good enough. They even said if it was a British or American woman then it would not have been a problem.They do not even no me to judge me on that.

• Black in Dubai

  I am a Jamaican/Trinidadian man who spends a large amount of time in Dubai. While I have not personally encountered Racisim here, I am have encountered it in other places. Most of the people in Dubai are Expats.
  
  I think you should rethink your relationship, I dont think it has as much to do with Dubai as it does your personal situation.
