[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are Indian immigrants and they’re from Calcutta, which is not a modern, clean, urban city at all (not even select parts of it). It’s disgustingly dirty and disorderly. Tons of poor people, homeless people defecating on the street, panhandlers, etc. I do think the amazing thing is that it’s remarkably low crime despite all that, though. I do not like Calcutta one bit but I’ve never felt unsafe there. For all the poverty that exists, I would think it’d be much higher. [/quote] American cities are just incredibly violent, even removing all gun related crimes they’re still orders of magnitude more violent than any Asian city. Guns and “poverty” (which is NOTHING like the poverty in most other parts of the world) does not even come close to explaining our violent crime rates.[/quote]
