You and I both know that the terminology and style of this article serves one purpose only - and that is to gently reinforce that old idea that the white man is required to help those at the 'bottom of the pile'. That's the reason it made me cringe. There would be no mention on this site if the man doing the helping had been anything other than white.

This article made me cringe. That good old fantasy rears its head again - white man does his best to save the heathens from themselves. Give me a break, this is 2013, not 1813.

I just don't get what's so 'neato' about this story. Wouldn't a neater story have focussed more on the people who were living on the rubbish tip and what their lives were/are like; rather than on the great white man who saved them? Just sayin...
