This is a really important problem. It's what Nance and I are always referring to as workerism. It's also kind of like that noble savage mythos, or when people romanticize the creativity of black culture because "oh it comes from deep oppression". People go from making a virtue out of necessity to doing apologetics for injustice. Thanks so much for your real world research. I plan on writing something more about this for sure.
