American here. We're not really in a position to criticize Mexico's crime when American inner cities like Baltimore or Newark have been no-go zones for taxpayers for decades, since the 1960s-1970s racial pogroms against White citizens
Western media always overstates how dangerous in other countries while leaving out major context. I'm of Indian origin but living in the USA. The media always blows up about some girl in India getting raping and making it seem like any women that travels to India will get raped as soon as she steps off the plane. They leave out that a lot of rapes are gang related retribution and not random. Meanwhile we ignore things over here like school shootings or mentally ill people going on random rampages while pointing the finger at other countries.
🔥🔥🔥 btw. What are your impressions, esp safety, of Oaxaca City? Food looks nuts! Choosing between there and Merida, to go for 2 months with gf and am also open minded for other more small city/town destinations. (i do speak spanish)

You mentioned Chicago. Go visit heyjackass.com for up to date stats every day!
Been here almost 3 years and not once have I felt unsafe. I’ve been all over the country.
In contrast, walking downtown in my hometown in Canada I would prefer to be armed. Crazed addicts everywhere you look.
