Dozens of African migrant workers have been abandoned on the roadside by Lebanese employers.
Abuse of domestic workers has long been a problem in the Arab world under the “kafala” system, which excludes foreigners from labor laws and makes their residency — and fate — subject to their employer’s whims.
In June, dark-skinned Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan posted a photo of himself with his son on Facebook and received hateful comments about their skin color. “Black like his father,” one said. “The disaster is that no one from his family has the beauty of their mother nor her color.” In one of her Instagram posts, Sinder recounted being called a slave when she was 6 years old by another child, who had repeated what she’d heard from her parents. “And this is how racist words become natural and normal for some,” Sinder wrote. “Be better.”Two Arab celebrities, who say they were trying to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, recently posted online photographs of themselves in blackface. One, a Moroccan actress, later took her photo down after facing criticism.
