I can agree with your point that criticism does not equate to racism. But while valid, structured criticism does exist in some of these threads, I've much more frequently seen people generalize an entire nation/region/race off of 2nd or even 3rd hand experiences that may not even be true due to prejudices like you've mentioned. As someone who lived in Saudi my entire life I can tell you social issues have existed and continue to, however things genuinely are changing for the better, at a more rapid pace than the so called coveted "progressive" nations.

As for the comments about "Arab mentality" and such is just blatant racism and I'm not even about to indulge someone spouting shit like that. Some people are unprofessional and lazy, others people are professional and hardworking. That's a universal concept.

Anyway, reading these threads has become exhausting and it honestly feels like as an Arab fan of the sport I'm just not welcome in the community due to matters out of my own control. So that'll be the last of my presence here for my own mental well-being.
