Wayne Borg, a former Fox Corp executive, reportedly described Neom's blue-collar workers from the Indian subcontinent as "f-ing morons" and said "that is why white people are at the top of the pecking order." His shocking remarks exemplify a concerning culture surrounding the project, especially after the deaths of three workers. Neom, meant to showcase Saudi Arabia's transformation, faces accusations of human rights abuses and financial difficulties, revealing deeper issues in its ambitious goals.
Borg also reportedly reiterated his comments in a later conversation about the deaths, saying: "You can't train for stupidity" and asserting, "The white blokes are at the top of the tree." Such statements not only reveal a troubling mindset among top executives but also raise questions about the working conditions and treatment of laborers within the Neom project, highlighting potential systemic discrimination.
