Many believed they deserved to be there and/or that they didn't want to work or live in better conditions. A common belief about people who lived in slums was that they were dirty and uneducated. It was also believed that many in impoverished areas, projects, and ghettos were either black or Hispanic. The reality is that you have many races living in poor conditions. Many of them are also smart and educated, however, have simply fallen on harsh times.

Well, by slums I assume you mean Indian slums commonly seen in those adverts made to tug at your heart strings. First of all, you have to understand the different groups of people who may come into contact with the slums. The first being residents. Residents there may treat each other relatively fine, unless divided by political, religious or Gang violence. So it differs depending on the circumstance. The second group of people would be middle class people. I'm sure they'd avoid the slums if possible, but if they did have to go into the slums for some unknown reason, I doubt they'd look too favourable on the conditions and people. But again, it depends entirely on how liberal the individuals is and their understanding to the situation of people living in slums.
