In its continuing campaign to replace expatriate workers with Saudi nationals, Saudi Arabia has designated two more professions for Saudization. The first step of the process is convincing Saudis that they want to be tailors or barbers, and then training programs will be offered to Saudi Nationals. The first two steps seem like pretty good ideas given the current unemployment rate of Saudis. However the next step (which the article doesn’t mention) is to allow only Saudis to work in these fields putting tens of thousands of Indians, Pakistanis, and Turks out of work.

Racism is wrong regardless of the justification.
