I’d love to see a source stating that everywhere is equally safe. I’ve been robbed at gunpoint before, it wasn’t in the fucking nice part of town. This is a stupid sentiment that blatantly ignores the reality of the situation. It’s also insulting to people who live in dangerous areas in my opinion.
I currently live in Medellin, Colombia so don’t talk to me about dangerous places to live. I never said every place was safe. I said that the violent crime rates seem higher in poorer areas because of reporting and prosecution. It’s not because poor people are inherently more violent.
I never said poor people are more violent inherently, because that’s not true. You’re asserting that everywhere is equally violent, poor areas are just more viewed that way because crime is more highly reported and the perpetrators are not represented as well. If that’s not your point then how is reporting or representation pertinent to the conversation? You either think OP has an incorrect assertion or you don’t.
