You won't find any negative discrimination due to sexual orientation/race etc. - obviously in a staff of 20k you might find the odd unpleasant individual but I haven't found anyone egregiously offensive in my travels on EK. After all, EKs crew have many homosexual individuals both male and female and recruit from all over the world. As regards religion - put it this way, I hear the kosher meals on certain sectors are extremely popular (and served, apparently, in the correct manner)

I hesitate to say that EK treats everyone as equals because certain surnames and perhaps wearing certain national dress, for instance, does sometimes seem to get you more attention and better service than others But I never feel it is detrimental to the service I get, so it is no big deal - every hospitality business has its own "more equal than others" customers.

And if you are a rather boorish individual I think you will also receive the bare minimum, but that probably applies in all service industries.
