They're roleplaying their image of what a modern functional society would work like.

[@edwardheaney3641]

I mean, that is how you eventually get to a western society, by imitating it.

[@solmoman]

@@edwardheaney3641 No that is not the point. Westerners built that society that these people try to maintain. While they were given these ideas and society, they were robbed of the chance of doing that themselves. I think one of the reasons why they are not able to create a functional society this way is because they don't feel like it's their. And they feel anger towards europeans and distrust in one another.

the reason he gets away with asking what he wants is because he asks blunt questions without a moral implication or accusatory overtone. It's a black and white request for facts.

It is probably from the sun, sun exposure and damage over time can cause yellowing of the whites of eyes. People in Australia get it too, if they aren't careful in the sun. It's usually in older people as the damage builds over a long time.
