Mexico ended 2021 with around 40,000 homicides, Mexico had more homicides in 1 year than the Middle East+North Africa had war deaths in 3 years from 2019-21. Keep in mind that the Middle East+North Africa has 466 million people, and Mexico has 128 million
Conversely, Guatemala + Honduras + El Salvador ( total population of 32 million) have 13k murders a year, which more than Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana (population of 140 million) combined despite Latin America being much wealthier.
You hear ppl constantly calaacal about women being mistreated in Iran/Saudi, but never mention the utterly insane Femicide scale in Central America
Latinos got good PR
