Boyle Him In Oil

AITOOW noticed that the Americans in Slumdog Millionaire were made to look foolish for being charitable? In the movie, two American tourists are robbed and unknowingly defend the mastermind of the plot from a beating and give him money for the offense. Instead of heralding the generosity of the Colonists, this yellow toothed, bigot turns them into a joke for his antiquinarian countrymen. Here's a bulletin for you 19th century has beens. Charity is neither embarrassing nor regrettable. Maybe if you didn't rape their country, Americans wouldn't be placed in that position. Sorry, if we've created a nation so far removed from that rapraciousness that we may be out of place when we visit one. Is there a third world mess that wasn't sown by the hands of the British empire?
