Many believed they deserved to be there and/or that they didn't
want to work or live in better conditions. A common belief about
people who lived in slums was that they were dirty and uneducated.
It was also believed that many in impoverished areas, projects, and
ghettos were either black or Hispanic. The reality is that you have
many races living in poor conditions. Many of them are also smart
and educated, however, have simply fallen on harsh times.
