    Alexander von Humboldt said, “The worst view on the world have people who never had a view at the world.”
    Therefore, to famous persons, especially internationally acclaimed ones, I have higher expectations about their moral compass than to the average person next door. Because I think, the people who get around a lot are privileged, meet a lot of people around the world and have therefore no excuse to keep stupid predjudices like that somewhere else people are dumber than in other places. They have opportunity to learn, to look and see first hand. People who just stay at home forever can easily think, that anywhere else people are idiots.
