On this episode I break down a video that went viral of a Kuwaiti pandemic volunteer that decided it was okay, to physically assault a migrant worker for some reason. Whatever the reason was, physical assault is never the solution especially when it's obvious that the other individual wants no part of the altercation. I hope this can help shed light and bring awareness to the issue of entitlement & racism that is evident in our beloved Kuwait and neighboring nations.
