Saw a video on YouTube a while back of some South Koreans being shown footage of everyday neighborhoods in the US where gun fights broke out. They a) couldn't believe how poor the infrastructure was; and b) holy shit people get shot at in broad daylight?

They were in complete disbelief how crime wasn't addressed by ending poverty. They immediately understood people rob or deal drugs to make money, which is why people were shooting at one another. They had assumed that Americans were all rich since it's a wealthy country.
