You have to love anthropologists. When you see a backward, they see a beautiful authenticity--but only if it's non-Western (eastern Kentucky is just backward). Regarding the photograph of some tribesmen in remote Peru, indigenous tribes expert, José Carlos Meirelles, exalts:
"When I saw them painted red, I was satisfied, I was happy," he said.
"Because painted red means they are ready for war, which to me says they are happy and healthy defending their territory."
