Yes, lived in Seoul (~20 million in metro area) for over a decade and never once feared for crime any time day or night.

This is mostly a cultural thing, isn't it? Isn't that even more difficult to import?

My friend is in Japan right now and we just had a discussion about how shame is a tool of social control. I was even reminded of the old 80's introduction of the concept of "toxic shame". Obviously a lot of Westerners have no shame and are proud that no one controls them and will declare it loudly to your face.

It happens in all multi-cultural/diverse settings, everywhere. This is a fact of life. Homogenous nations tend to be the safest.

Don't you know we can only compare the US to Europe???

Homicide rate is 5-10x larger in US than Europe.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that a US vs Europe comparison on crime rates is not going to show the US in a good light either.

Yep, it's white people.

It actually is. White people who allow all sorts of crime and antisocial behavior in the name of equity.

Ironically, “open-minded” white people have been some of the most racist people I have come across. Speaking on behalf of minorities without their permission and flaunting their savior complex.

As a minority, I genuinely feel offended when politicians try to market lawlessness and anarchy to minorities. This worsens racism, as now racists think that all minorities support these ridiculous policies. To the contrary, many minorities are escaping these very breed of politicians that exist in their own countries, only to find them in America again.

Demographics in Tokyo are different than in SF.
