" So your family has been in the UAE for a while right? You are an old Emirati? "
Who is an Old Emirati? Who is an Emirati?
Are you born an Emirati? Is it your Passport that makes you an Emirati? Or is the 5ula9at El qaid?
Are Emiratis people of certain tribes only? From certain Emirates?
Who is more Emirati: people of Yemeni roots or Persian Roots? What about Buloush? What about the other 5aleejy people who have the Emirati citizenship? Are they considered Emirati too?
If we rate Emiratis: Do we have First Class Emiratis? Second Class Emiratis? Who is at the bottom of the this system?
Here's a tricky question:
Let us assume that technically you are a second class Emirati but you have a lot of money (definition of a lot of money: millions) would that make you a first class Emirati?

Eid Mubarak :-)
the system here is screwed up ! it is funny that u might see a pure "first class" emirati who didn't complete high school, not religious, does all sorts of bad things, doesn't have a decent job who might stand next to any "second class" emirati, as you put it, and the other guy is well educated, religious, good job and good akhlaq, but the first guy would think he's better than the other one and looks down at him just because he has a "first class" family name ! it is such a shame because our prophet was totally against it because el 3a9abeyyah el qabaleyyah was one of the bad things arabs used to do before Islam, ayyam el jaheleyyah, yet people these days are back to jaheleyyah days ignoring our prophet. If they really love our prophet, then they wouldn't have such thinking ! what hurts more is that when you see this kind of thinking in the young and educated generation !
