rejected.content: The term "Camel Jockey" was historically used to refer to people from Middle Eastern and Asian countries. It was derived from the British imperialists who used to refer to the locals as such because of their practice of transporting goods or supplies on the backs of camels. This was considered a low occupation in those times and so the term stuck with the locals. This label was also applied to other cultures where this practice was seen such as the Indigenous Americans who transported their goods on horseback. This practice may still exist in certain areas in the world today.
