What a racist ignorant comment. What does "Unmixed " caucasian mean?...pure ignorance
don't think he meant to be racist. He meant that the people that live there are of european stock and not decendants of any natives and/or mestizos.......
What do you think are the safest large cities in Latin America?
My list is below. Which cities are on your list?
Havana
San Jose Costa Rica
Santiago Chile
Montevideo
Maybe Buenos Aires.
Perhaps some cities in Bolivia and Ecuador not really sure.
Thank you for your thoughts on this.
Maybe dated information....but about ten years ago, I traveled throughout South America....and SANTIAGO CHILE was definetely the safest by a long shot.
I didn't make it to San Jose....but heard quite a bit of crime in the capital, and from what I've heard, quite a few Americans there too, which might even attract a bit more opportunity.
Montevideo...this might be close to Santiago Chile. I skipped Uruguay, but heard a lot of good things about it.

yes.......and he "said" it with obvious pride, as if their alleged whiteness was positively correlated with the safety of the city.
Buenos Aires has a lot of crime. Definetely not the safest. It might be one of the whitest though, but not the safest.
Yes..everything I have heard concurs with your experience. BA is NOT that safe. I've got a co-worker with an Argentine girlfriend. He traveled there with her there in 09 for 10 days...and safety was a concern despite being with a local.
