Students of Color in the UAE

Although the UAE is diverse and immensely cosmopolitan in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you may still encounter individuals, local and international, who may be ignorant of the diverse backgrounds that Americans may have. Given your comforbality level you can utilize unexpected encounters questioning your race and identity as a way to educate others.
