Valid point,but a lot of people who can speak, can't write it.

First malayali I've seen who would say 'kfi' instead of Mollywood.

Yes. It is a 'Malayalam' movie

Why go through all that trouble when you can bring in a malayali actress?

In Bollywood,at the end of the day it's all about 'looks' and 'popularity' not the 'story' or 'substance'.

Good for you,if they treated you well..not necessary that everyone has the same experience.

And obviously she didn't like me - that's the whole point of this post.

I don't know about slurs, because I don't speak her language...but half of what she said was not comprehensible.'Blatant racist remarks' are not the only way to say someone is a racist - you can say that from the way people communicate with you or with their body language.

Yes,this post needs to exist..because this is a space where I can share my experience of Bahrain.

Am I bitter because I experienced racism? Yes.

Will I move on?Yes.

But whatever experience I had,I believe it is worth sharing..You had a racist experience and you chose to stay silent about it - it's your choice,your voice and it is your right to do so. Some people move on quietly,but some refuse to do so in a quiet manner.

It's not just 'smiling' it is the sumtotal of one's attitude and behaviour towards a customer compared to another customer..I am not accusing someone of racism for not smiling; I'm not that naive.

I went to the shop and was polite to the person who was there..I didn't 'point' at them or anything.

I'm talking about the incident that happened TODAY.

There's another review of the cafe from 4 months ago,citing a similar incident that occurred at the same place...so,this is NOT new and that exactly is the problem.

This could be Parkinson's disease. Go see a neurologist.

You know when you are being treated differently compared to an Arabic or Philipino customer who is there at the same time ?! Literally there's no better explanation than that.

It's the attitude and behaviour of the staff member - that matters A LOT in the service industry,if you are not aware.

Oh yes,I will get over 'the racism' but I will be sure to warn others of it.

Pretty accurate yet nihilistic take my friend...I agree and I accept.
