AVOlio wroteI have to agree with @nuclearat that statistically, it is logical that people coming from these poor third world countries are prone to have the chance of diseases more than people in our country. I mean it is kind of logical even if statistics don't exist.
However looking at that fact, this is still not an excuse for us to discriminate them.
If people / pool / resort owner are afraid of the diseases of the migrant people they should also be as much as afraid of regular Lebanese people aswell.
Now coming to the reason of why I revived this topic, is because something similar happened with me and my partner who is Not Lebanese and is a foreigner about a year ago.
Me, her, a friend of mine and his Non Lebanese Wife booked a room in some resort to the north area, and by call we specifically mentioned that we are 2 couple looking to stay during day only and have a room at the resort, to which by phone aswell he acknowledged that fact and approved it. By the time we got there, the moment he saw and realised that our partners were foreigner and not Lebanese, he started making last minute excuses and denied us a stay in the resort.
Anyway, so I made a comment on their fb page telling what happened and calling them discirminative and racist, recently the guy called my contact (the contact who I used to get the reservation at the beginning) and demanding by force for me to remove the comment, which I will certainly not do.
So yea, that is why I'm asking for the legality of this issue.
Is it legal or illegal to do this?
i know its almost been a year on this but workers are obliged to perform tests before they come to Lebanon so yea if one discovers she\he has some kind of disease they wont bring them here . And i pretty much believe its not legal to do this but u know we are living in Lebanon !
