That's the famed western thinking in general. I've only seen one western movie where ridicule at that even reminisces the real perception by non-westerners, it's "Romancing the stone".
Marc Twain described that for Americans, that was in a time when USA was simultaneously a weird overseas industrializing village and half the world GDP. So then it could be explained by such a contrast. Now - I don't know.
