5. Given the opportunity

A lot of rich white racists would be doing the same thing, but western laws prevent them. There are no such controls on indentured servitude and slavery in many Arab countries though, or the authorities just look the other way which is why that woman threw herself out of the window from 7 stories up, she had no one to turn to and death was preferable than continuing the abuse.

A maid begged for help before falling from a window in Kuwait. Her boss made a video instead.
