yeah, reading what Lim said above, I'm reminded of some nineteenth-century English journalistic narratives about what's threatening about the lower-middle-class and immigrants, and it's all about how they're unclean, probably incestuous (oh Victorians) and are covered in flies and roaches and rats because they don't practice proper hygiene or have decency. So it's certainly been a sign of moral failing in England previously.
