To remove ethical dilemmas, foreign men are portrayed as «inadequate», greedy, and arrogant, with the implication that scamming them for money wouldn't be
such an awful thing morally.
Tangled masses of honeysuckle spilled over the picket fence, and she thought it was rude that this scene should appear to be so cheerful, like out of a storybook,
when such an awful thing had just happened.
Yet as the book went on, it seemed more like she was just another Ted Bundy «groupie,» fascinated with him and unable to believe such a «nice» person would
do such awful things.
This tells me that you want to divorce yourself from that group of terrible marketers who would say
such an awful thing, while taking no risk that someone would respond (just as an example), «why it's you and your ilk that promote such a horrible idea.»
