Is there any way we can change the thread title now that we've established that any top ten list of most dangerous cities in the world that's not made up almost exclusively of war zones is pretty useless? There is an interesting discussion going on here that I'm enjoying reading about crime rates in America, but the title seems to be over the top and less than accurate.

Sure, but the homicide rate for Latinos as a whole is much, much lower in the U.S.

Homicide rates for "latinos" in the central states of Mexico are low. Guadalajara, Puebla, Guanajuato, and the southern states of Oaxaca, Chiapas have lower rates than "latinos" in the USA anywhere. The whole OP article is a fraud, Detroit does not have homicide rates higher than the top ten cities worldwide. It's probably not even as bad as Los Angeles or Phoenix anymore.

Well, according to wikipedia, Detroit has a violent crime rate that's about 325% higher than Los Angeles.

Many parts of Mexico that are unaffected by the drug trade are very safe, yes.

Exact same thing here:

Race can be very arbitrary.
Yes, race can be arbitrary, so you proved my point for me! they are classified as "white" even if they can be considered latin. Did you even realize you proved my point for me?!

My entire post went over my head. My poiint is that many Latins are called whites to lessen the impact of the truth on the Liberal narrative that whites really DO have lower rates of violent crime than other racial groups. Of course its absurd to call Mexicans, Centro-Americans, etc, pure White. Did you even realize you are proving my point for me? Or are you too brainwashed by your own rush to the race card mindset that you can't see that? Apparently the latter, because in front of everyone here, you fell for it. Opps on that, right?

Anyway, no, we didn't steal their land. They lost it in a war. Sorry friend, you need to drop your racist racial grudge.

I'm here to help though, so just reach out if you want to continue the dialogue, ok?

Can't fix neighborhoods (inner cities) or the people who live in them if they don't want to be fixed..

That's why I left.

Think about it: Why should they? They (generally speaking, as always) do nothing, hold their hand out, and have everything and them some given to them.

Why should they bother fixing themselves when we make it so much easier?
