Lebanese beach resorts denying entry to foreign workers

I know you might have seen this video on other blogs, but I am re-posting it here to spread it as much as we can.

Beach resorts in Lebanon are known for denying foreign workers from swimming inside their premises after granting them an entry, but some places have gone a step further by not allowing those workers from even stepping inside!

The video below, taken at the Sporting Club Manara, shows Anti Racism Movement activists trying to get their maid into the swimming pool. The activists are allowed in, but not the maid!

    Unfortunately, as an Arab, I have to admit we are somehow racist.
    Thanks for sharing this is really outrageous. Unbelievable!
