Are Arabic countries racist? No. Transphopic? probably. Supporting slavery? IDK what hell hole you were in, but if it's actual slavery, then I've never visited that part of the world before.

Based on the convoys you've taken and the other experiences you've had, it looks like you check if the country has ongoing conflicts and if it does, you decide to go there. Have you paid Yemen or Syria a visit yet? I am sure you'll be blown away.

If you were Christian or Muslim and didn't want to be spit on and attacked for no reason, then your middle eastern country of choice changes drastically. The "only democracy in the middle east" is not the most secular country, nor is it the least racist one.
