      It's not a matter of being white or black or any color. Ex-pats get allowances for house rental, travel, etc. as part of a package. This happens all over the world regardless of color. I am sure the Tolans that are sent to Hong Kong, London, etc. to work get higher salaries than the comparable locals in those countries because of the extra allowances added to their basic salary.
