'The Middle East' | Russell Peters - The Green Card Tour

The Middle East is definitely not what the media portays... Here's a clip from my 2011 special, "The Green Card Tour."

"I have ten toes. I only have one head. Protect your head." damn, that's deep

[bharathk]

Indians who work as labourers in middle east are mostly poor people from Indian villages. They are malnourished since childhood so they end up as thin and short. Even in India u will find stark contrast in height between rich and poor. Sad but true.

1:55 is heartwarming, man. He is roasting that guy for his unibrow and his lady is right there showing him love whilst being roasted. So cute!

I remember being in Sharjah, UAE and the Indians and Bengalis were treated like cattle at the airport. What I found was that most of these people work hard to earn money to send home. Even the Camels have better accomodations than some workers. Truly sad

He's right about Dubai...I was born there but don't have citizenship...oh well.

EDIT: I didn't get notifications about this thread for a long time so I didn't engage with the various discussions, so I'll answer them here as best as possible. My parents were diplomats stationed in Dubai and I happened to be born there. I wanted citizenship because Dubai is very close culturally and geographically to India. Being a citizen of UAE would have been great to be a part of a modern country and be able to travel to India whenever I chose. My parents being diplomats would have meant I would have gotten a good job and contributed to the economy, not be a leech and get benefits like some have stated. I live in the US (am a citizen) and have missed out on being a part of Arab/Indian culture...not much of it was around where I grew up. I understand that Arabs wouldn't have wanted to be a minority, but I was not a leech, so no reason to not have some way for me to become a citizen if I could prove I was contributing to the country in a significant way.

As a middle eastern i can tell you that Russel knows us and he is the best. Thank you Russel! You are the best.

I mean the rich Arab stereotype is only for gulf countries not Syria Iraq and so on

[hamouz]

"Our comedy is the bomb" killed me

[Erik-hpoh]

The indian guys quote in the end is golden 5:12

[subjectdelta]

"Do I drive a AUUDI or an Audi" 😂😂😂

[act]

hilarious

[alanthearabguy]

I am an Arab and yes alot of Arabs treat Indians/Pakistani/Bangali people like shit while this really pisses me off because those Indians are here find a living not to get yelled at !

[jsmartinez]

So sad in this day and age people are being mistreated! I've seen investigated reports about the Indian workers in Dubai and the horrible living conditions, Dubai Government should be ashamed!

[عبودالقمري-صب]

sadly I lived in Dubai 17 years I can confirm what he said about Indians is true 😢

[marleyvernall]

"All strategically placed I see" this one had me in stitches bruh 😂

[nirandnanda]

"Welcome to saddam's ji ha-ha d hut". Damn. Bro. I hurt my gut laughing at that. 😂🤣😂

[husynhushblabla]

not everywhere arabs treat indians like this, maybe just in dubai, we love all people, ..the rich arab will treat the poor people like this even if they are arabs too...greatings from lebanon 🖑

[alialghamdi.]

I’m Saudi and there are a lot of Indians back home. I don’t know why comments are sh*t about the Indians in the GCC. I swear we treat them respectfully and we talk laugh on daily basis plus we love and respect each other.
