Something striking for those of us that grew up in the land of the politically-correct are the appointment (employment) ads in the local paper. Let me quote a few:
“Recruitment officer: Arab Only”
“Male-Arabic Speaking, Western-Educated Trainee wanted”
“Female Buyers wanted”
“Travel manager – Jordanian only”
“Property Consultant – female, any nationality”
“Female Accountant”
And my favorite. . . .
“15 positions – Non-Indians wanted, Indians allowed for 5 positions”
May as well be clear about what you want!!

"Female Buyers Wanted"
Does that mean they want buyers that are female or someone to buy females? You never know.
I thought the same thing--it turns out there is a big press to get both local emeraties and women in general honestly employed.
Where did you see the opening for the Jordanian Travel Manager?
Might as well not disappoint the recruiters if they got to the effort of being so specific.
PS I'm only joking, I'm happily hired.
