Racism and slavery in non-white countries... today

The modern regressive leftist narrative is that white people and white countries are racist and oppressive in the worst possible ways. Conversely, these regressive leftists either ignore, keep quiet about, or outright deny any such behavior and attitudes in any predominantly non-white country, such as African and Middle-East countries.

Yet, if you start digging enough, you'll find that the culture in some of these countries (not all, but some) is astonishingly horrendous. Yet the media tends to not make a very big fuss about it (thus giving the illusion that it doesn't happen, or is very rare.)

When the FIFA organization announced that the 2022 World Cup would be held in Qatar, some news organizations must actually be commended for raising to public awareness the multitude of human rights violations of that country, including but not limited to what essentially constitutes de facto slavery.

You see, in many countries in the Middle-East, including countries like Qatar, Lebanon and others, as well as some African countries, it's actually common to have people from other countries (typically African countries) come to work in jobs like construction workers, maids and so on, and for the employer to, essentially, keep them as slaves.

The employer will keep the passports and other travel documents of these foreign workers, essentially as ransom, and the free movement of these workers will be severely limited (often enforced by local officials). In fact, in many of these countries these workers don't get any days off from work, and cannot even leave the workplace or house where they are "employed". The employer will give the worker's passport and other documentation back only when the employment is terminated, or when he feels like it. Until then, the worker is not free to leave the country, or even the place of work, and the local police will enforce this.

As crazy as that sounds, this is actually a kind of custom in those countries. It's considered normal practice. It's kind of expected for employers to keep the passports of foreign workers, as some kind of "insurance" that the worker will not just leave. These workers are not free to stop working and leave whenever they want, and this is enforced by the employers and the local police. They are for all intents and purposes bona fide slaves.

And how are employers enforcing this? Sometimes by going as far as literal physical torture. I'm not making that up. You can find documented cases if you search enough.

There is also in many of these Middle-East countries an extreme prejudice, hatred and oppression of other races, especially black Africans. Black people in these countries can expect getting shouted at, derided, insulted, and even physically assaulted. In many of these Middle-East countries there seems to be an especially racist attitude towards Africans, especially those from certain countries (such as Ethiopia).

And this is not me saying that, or some right-wing white-supremacist extremists making those claims. This is something that Middle-Eastern people who have been to those countries are saying. Watch for example this video.
