"Mexico City is DANGEROUS 💀"
American woman claims traveler influencers are LYING about Mexico City
"Travel influencers LOVE to say 'don't believe the American propaganda
And that Mexico City is safe 🇲🇽
But I was assaulted in a safe area. It's dangerous"
Quick thoughts as an American with 9 years in CDMX 👇
1 🇲🇽) While what happened to her sucks, it doesn't define what the norm
A vast majority of travel influencers visit Mexico City without problem
Yes, there are bad areas and Condesa or Polanco don't represent the whole city
But who cares?
Most of the audience listening to "travel influencers" won't ever leave the expat areas anyway
When this crowd talks about Mexico City, they're talking strictly about the nice areas and there's nothing wrong with that
And yes, those areas are safe enough
Not as safe as say some place in Switzerland but pretty chill anyway
2 🇲🇽) More broadly speaking though, she's kinda right also
The "don't believe American propaganda" line is overused by travel influencers
Because the same influencers do in fact make the mistake often of speaking about all of Mexico as if it were just Condesa
And it's not propaganda to point out how fucked up Mexico can be outside the touristy areas (it can be VERY fucked up)
Even Mexican media REGULARLY shows how fucked up Mexico can be on a daily basis.
No shortage of crime and horror stories to report on
And no, fucked up areas of the US can't be used to wave away how fucked up Mexico can be
And you can't speak for those areas if you, the typical travel influencer, have never been to those areas either
If you just stay in Polanco, what would you know about what most of Mexico is like?
Nothing 💀

la hipocresia de hablar de racismo cuando los que se hicieron virales por gestos racistas fueron otros

Miss Pemulis@barbariana
Por favor Dios, permite que un equipo africano le gane a los racistas esos.

🚨‘Crisis de desapariciones: ¿Cómo pueden organizar una Copa del Mundo?’, destaca The Guardian (@guardian)
El diario británico publica un reportaje resaltando que “mientras Inglaterra se prepara para enfrentarse a México, se desarrolla otra batalla más allá del Estadio Azteca: más de 130 mil personas desaparecidas por la fuerza”.

El mexicano promedio es lo peor del continente. Gente abandonada por la genética, el buen gusto, el respeto, la prosperidad, y encarnan todas las desgracias y falencias que puede tener el ser humano.
Maleducados, violentos, paranoicos, resentidos, que viven del odio, y sus políticos siempre les meten en la cabeza la teoría del enemigo externo, ya sea estadounidense, español, argentino, o cualquier país lejano, para controlarlos por medio de la paranoia aprovechando su baja inteligencia.
Poirot@Argenpoirot
Que triste vida, vivir de odiar a los argentinos y cuando no estas odiando tenes que evitar que te cuelguen del puente o te metan en bolsas. No entiendo porque hay argentinos que siguen yendo a Mexico.

Ah yes, the famous Spanish speaking country, England, that colonised Mexico.
Using the word coloniser and applying it solely to England just gets you likes, it seems, no matter the actual facts.
