Chinese person in neon yellow vest with broom, dust pan and face mask = sanitation worker

Chinese person in normal clothes picking up bottles = frugal 大妈

Chinese person in normal clothes picking up TRASH, not bottles = madman

The uniform makes all the difference.

In America:

White guy picks trash = upright citizen

Chinese guy picking up trash = sanitation worker/plastic recycler/all-round low-life scum

It’s a tenet of Confucianism that the high-society man be the one around which a moral society orients itself, “like stars around the north pole.” (Or something to that extent.) Still happens in China that when the privileged do good, they get praised. When they act badly, they get doubly hated on （仇富）. When “low-society” people do either, society is neither surprised nor impressed.

So yeah, what Joe said.
