They are incompetent by First World standards. Not bigotry but fact.
Wow, I'm not sure how you can come to such conclusions. Sure, they (not sure who you are implying here) may not do everything to YOUR first world standards but why don't you list down what you would do if you were in charge?
The efforts the region banded together to get through the Boxing day Tsunami disaster was nothing short of impressive, 1.5 world standards? Who would you classify as first world? USA? Western worlds? What was the rescue efforts like at New Orleans after Katrina?
Goodness...
