Aaaah! The old stereotype of smiling poor children in an Asian country! "Look everyone, life is hard, but they always have a smile on their faces. "
There is a name for this bullshit; It is called the "Complementary Justice" and it says that the "Poor but Happy" and "Poor but Honest" stereotype exists because we assume and hope that rich people are evil and not happy, while the poor, on the other hand are happy, if nothing else. It feeds a fake sense of social justice to justify away poverty like this one. Especially, when coming from Americans, or Brits, there is always a big chance that they had something to do with creating a mess in this country.
It is virtually a cliche ́in our culture to consider the poverty-stricken, or even the relatively deprived, as having their own compensating rewards. They are actually happy in their own way— carefree, happy-go-lucky, in touch with and able to enjoy the “simple pleasures of life”. . .
Aaaah! Look at those smiles...see...they may not have any food, but they are happy. Aaaaah!
