I really don't think that our perception of people's cultures should make their lives matter less. For all we know, the woman who did get raped is a terrible person, and the woman in Guatemala that these men might otherwise have targeted is a lovely woman who is kind to children. For all we know the opposite is true. For all we know both were pretty good people who don't deserve to have this sort of terrible shit happen to them.

Also keep in mind that the problems of the "third-world shit-holes" are often American problems that we just happen to be powerful enough to export.

And also keep in mind that our supposedly awesome "values and culture" is mostly a lie, and millions of dollars go in to propaganda to maintain the facade, despite the fact that in practice we meet almost none of the standards of "value and culture" that we presumably support. Anyone who pays the slightest attention to the current election can see that racism and violence are rampant, as well as a terrifying willingness to give up all the rights that we supposedly value so much. Where are our values and culture in this election? Where are our values and culture when we spend trillions to send men to war to be broken, but can't put up the money to put them back together when they come home again? Where are our values and culture in our absurdly high incarceration rate?

Look, our values and culture are probably better than those of a lot of countries. But it really isn't sufficient to devalue the lives of people in other countries.
