Reply #54: It has nothing to do with racism... [View All]

...and everything to do with the fact that The FBI tied the UAE has to Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks. They also actively interfered with our hunt for Osama Bin Laden. It makes no difference what ethnicity they are.

After all of that, just because they promised to support us in the war on terror, we are just automatically supposed to say no problem, here's the keys to our ports?:wtf:

And if I take exception, and point out any of that I am automatically "arab-bashing" and a racist? If the ports were already owned by a foreign government with ties to terrorism and nuclear proliferation, and we objected to it then, it could be racism.

If it's not currently owned by a foreign government that is very much like the UAE is now, then racism is a red herring issue, meant only to push that hot button and detract from the real issue.
