Define the character of a shithole country? Name some requirements that make it one.
It's fair enough to call a country a shithole if it's poor. We are sort of one, in a different way. (not so much about class)
If you can call Mississippi a shithole, you can call many third world nations shitholes.

things like poverty and crumbling infrastructure would qualify, but I think things like that will always come back to a failure of leadership at the root of it all - it's not always under their control because of imperialism and colonialism, the 'west' will happily install a warlord who will plunder a nation with no regard for the lives of its citizens...people will scoff, but America is headed down the same path, poverty, crumbling infrastructure, psychotic leaders who only care about their own money and power
