Singapore has the exact same immigration and labour salary system Dubai & Qatar has yet not a single person mentioned slave labour... The slavery narrative is pushed by racists to downplay the perceived successes of arab countries.

Anyone mentioning slavery or labour rights in Dubai, Qatar, or any other arab country are consciously or unconsciously doing so to justify their sense of superiority  towards Arabs not any genuine concern for those people who they don't give af about.

People really don't seem to understand alleles and how most Arabs have homozygous alleles for blue eyes, light skin, and light hair, which means that these phenotypes aren't that uncommon. The girls are twins and it shows how 1 inherited the light alleles and the other lacks them

A lot of these online personalities have bought into the Europoor meme. Germany has a high gdp per capita than half of US states, and that's while they use a devalued currency(Euro) that lowers their gdp per capita in nominal terms
If Germany were an American state, it would be the second poorest in the country - somewhere between Mississippi and West Virginia. The other major European nations do even worse

Most anti-migration Brits don't want masss Muslim, South Asian, African, and Arab immigrants, but because they can't target those people specifically, they make general rules that are incredibly dumb to not seem racist. This is why these anti-immigration measures always fails.
