Well none does have a point. If you act with disdain towards a country and yet do not call them names does not mean you are not racist.I dont know enough about you to know if you are disdainful towards mexicans ocean --just making this known that some people are very policially correct not to use racists words but they are racists in their attitudes or beliefs or ideas.

Ocean though you are right the drug cartels and mexican and US police are in an all out war with drug lords so tourists do need to beware.I live in the midwest and I know that.
