What are you talking about?

Like FFS, seriously.

Look at the population numbers. Look at the number of arrivals and departures of the kind of large "international newsworthy when they crash" aircraft. There is simply less chance one falls out of the sky in LatAm because there's many fewer of them in the sky to begin with.

>You're fooling yourself here. Your absurd (and factually incorrect) assumptions about whole regions is textbook racism.

You are projecting your own judgements into my words. These nations are poorer and a lot of baggage comes with that. None of which has anything to do with race.



> You are projecting your own judgements into my words.

No, I'm reading your words as you write them.

Deciding that Ahmedabad is "right on the edge" of the "the equatorial old world" is racist unto itself. It shows staggering geographic and cultural ignorance.

Some self-reflection is in order, because if you speak like this in real life, people may not call you out directly but everyone will think less of you.
