    the tourists treat the sherpas like shit.

    I submit it’s the shitty tourists being shitty, and either selection bias or toxic generalizations is filling in the rest for you .

      Nope. There’s a good documentary called Sherpa you should check out. Also - why do so many people know who Sir Edmund Hillary is, but not Tenzing Norgay? They both were the first up there. Sherpas have been treated poorly as long as people have been summiting the mountain.
