Of course, the world's holes are often riddled wit

Note as well how many of the poorest and most authoritarian nations are run by Islamists. The godless false religion of Islam is an enforced religion with a violent founder, a violent founding, and a violent past and present. Islam is generally repressive to women and to those of other faiths. Islam is typically financially devastating and technologically backward and thus has produced many of the world's holes.
Naturally, the world's holes are filled with filth. Along with garbage, human waste, and nasty water, and no matter what list you use, the world's dirtiest cities are typically also filled with some form of leftism and spiritual darkness. The same goes for the world's most dangerous countries. Note again that those plagued by Islam dominate the list.
Often accompanying danger and filth is death. Unsurprisingly, the nations with the lowest life expectancy are the same ones showing up on the other s-hole lists.
Two hole-producing products of leftist ideology that, in spite of numerous and horrific failures, still plague the world today are socialism and communism. No matter the specifics of the "ism" or the frequency or the scale of the devastation, modern leftists continue to seek to put so much power in the hands of so few.
If you think I'm being unfair to the rest of the world, fret not. Tragically amazing – given our vast amount of rich natural and human resources – the United States has more than its fair share of s-holes. Almost always, these are municipalities where democrats have ruled for decades and where godlessness – typically accompanied by a good dose of hedonism – and leftism – usually called "liberalism" in America – dominate the landscape.
It's not the skin color of the people, but rather rotten political and religious ideologies that produce toilet-like living conditions. Also, the vast majority of people living in the holes of the world are there through little to no fault of their own (except for those who continue to elect Democrats) and, in most cases, need the help of others to escape or improve their conditions. The United States can't import all of those suffering in the world's holes, but we can certainly play a role in exporting what they really need.
The surest way to keep people from living in an s-hole is to provide them with liberty, but not liberty alone. As the great Edmund Burke put it when observing the French revolution, " he effect of liberty to individuals is, that they may do what they please: [w]e ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations."
Liberty should always be accompanied by the "moral chains" provided by Christianity. Otherwise, you end up with Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and Baltimore.
