Bitch

Ok I am totally freaking out!!!!!

I think I am turning into a typical Kuwaiti!!!!!!!! I have been in this country way too long!!!!!!!!

Let me explain.

I recently changed jobs, and the people that I am working with now are a mixture of Kuwaitis and foreigners. Now a couple of a days ago one of my female foreign co-worker referred to someone that she used to work with previously and that I happen to know as a “Bitch”. I didn’t blink an eye, my reaction was as the Kuwaitis would say “7ada 3adi”, I even agreed with her lol.

Now a couple of years back when I was working at my old job I was put in the same situation. My supervisor who also happened to be female yet Kuwaiti referred to another co-worker as a “Bitch”. Yet at that time if I recall correctly, my eyes bulged out and I was speechless! And I thought to myself “shino hathi no class what so ever”. (If some of you are wondering yes the lady she was referring to was a bitch)

These two situations made me think!! Why did I accept that foul language from the foreigner but not the Kuwaiti. Of course the only answer I came up with was “illusion you are turning into a typical Kuwaiti!!!!!!” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is not good!


p.s. if I offended anyone with the language that has been used here I apologize.

I don't like to think of myself as a racist so lets just say both of us are being typical Kuwaitis :)

But on a weird level its nice to know I am not the only one who feels that way

AC, wayentaw:

Well, maybe, this entry has overtones of racism to it alright, but do let's remember racism is after all a raw human emotion; no different from greed, envy, lust or sloth. So why single out 'racism', each time as the worst of the worst feeling/thoughts to have?
In today's world, more people than ever would rather they drowned in a river than be accused of being a racist. Such is the level of hate for what is purely, a state of mind at any given time not much different from sloth or greed or envy.
At some level, most of us are capable of behaving in an entirely racist manner despite ourselves suffering racism at some point in the past. Makes for most uncomfortable reading but there's at least, an iota of truth in it.

Ou est la, l'illusion?

Or maybe since you call yourself illusion, you were never there to begin with !

Tell me I am wrong, s'il vous plait!

Cheers,

A Bottle In The Sea!
I know that it's hopeless to write this down, but it would be so great to find what I'm looking for!
Here it goes;

I'm looking for an adult male pure breed West Highland White Terrier.

If you have one, or know someone who has one, or know someone who could help me to find one, I'll be interested in buying it!

So could you all please spread this?

I know that it's a rare breed in Kuwait, but I would love to have it, fix your price!

P.S In case you don't know how it looks like just Google it!
