The Human Factor Quotes

“A neighboring country provided more recreational opportunities. We took our children to Shaykh’s Beach, the king’s beachfront home. The king graciously opened this estate for visitors, provided they were of specific ethnicities. Guards at the entrance enforced a strict entry code: whites and East Asians were permitted; Muslims, (including citizens), Hindus, and South Asians were not. Within the estate, the whites, Japanese, and Chinese spread their blankets at one end of the beach and the Filipinos spread theirs at the other. I guessed that the ban on Muslims was because the king didn’t want to expose Muslims to a European-style beach setting.”
