In ADWD Mormont says that some in the Free Cities think that the Westerosi are "children, calling out for a father's strong hand."  and how some like the slaver in astapor consider them savages what are your thoughts on that  and why  do you think they consider them savages

It's how different cultures tend to view each other.  Look how the Westerosi look down upon the Essosoi.  Tyrion is full of judgement, calling Ilyrio a cheesemonger, with Jorah and Selmy harshly judging the Dothraki and sellsword companies.  The finest mercenary company is the Golden Company, not coincidentally founded by Westerosi exiles.

In Essos they look west and see an impoverished feudal society, in Westeros they look east and see disorganized merchant cities.  Both are right, both are wrong.

In other words, prejudice.
