Does the same apply to America? Plenty of racism, people shot in their homes by police, Guantanamo Bay still open.

I really think an educational program is needed to take people from the US to visit some non-western countries with "human rights issues" and see what this actually looks like for a bit to cure this kind of whataboutism deflections that crop up anytime criticisms are made of conditions for people in foreign countries.

I'm sure once they come to Dubai they'll be horrified how the streets aren't covered in human shit and used needles.

I almost feel like you're proving my point. Try going outside the tourist districts. Nobody is complaining that the streets of downtown Dubai are dirty, they're complaining that they're being cleaned by slave labor.
