Well, what is the "East" that the picture speaks of? The entire eastern hemisphere is so downtrodden that all of them might as well be wearing burka?
This is false dichotomy.
They're not supposed to be summarily defined either as helpless victims or mindless savages. They have their own agency.
As for the West...it's on point for many folks, but I also wouldn't generalize all of them as being blind.
