Brazil

Many parts of Brazil are in poor condition. When Americans come to see the worst parts of Brazil, locals look down on them for it. Even officials of the country are disgusted with Americans who go there to view what they consider to be “slum lords.”

The belief in Brazil is that it is tacky for Americans to want to tour these areas and take photos to remember them by. Locals believe that Americans gawk at the inequality and poverty that is a way of life for some Brazilian residents.
