The list posted says a lot about your cultural biases er, I mean preferences. Nice to see three gora nations bunched at the bottom neatly together.

So build me an arguement that contradicts the ranking.

"gora'means?

Not sure about Bangladesh's position on that list. I reckon it is more riskier than what the index shows.

Nah, all of the risk has migrated to India.

Wonder how the current violence in SA targeted against the new immigrants will impact their standing.

'Tis clearly a joke because Iran, Syria, Indonesia, Serbia, Bangladesh, etc. are all more peaceful than India (the last four above the US too).

Is 'white' racist?

I think the results may be purely based on stats ie. Ratio of number of acts of violence Vs total population. In the case of USA all those black shootings and subway muggings will push them in comparsion to say a Country like Syria which may be in an unstable region and subject to some terrible acts but statistically does not get up there. Same may be true with Bangladesh. They may not be giving enough weightage to aspects such as the stability of the Government, region, undercurrents brewing etc

In short, they must have analyzed the thing like a twelve-year old would for a school project.

A disparaging term could be considered racist.

Idiots

Jamaica is just as dangerous at T&T these days, if not more so. Gang violence is rife.

If you click on the link you can see exactly how they work it out.

Certain parts of United States and Britain are far more dangerous than any other part of the world.

Which parts , Bucky?

there are some areas in London and UK which DHL refuses to service.

Apparently these places are more dangerous than downtown Baghdad.

You a DHL driver, Buck?

I'd suggest Chelsea isn't too safe an area for anybody wearing Manooted colors right now.

Is London not in the UK now?

I saw a BBC program which labeled Jamaica as the most dangerous place in the World. A big claim considering what goes on in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Is London not in the UK now?"

No.

London was kicked out of the UK about 20 years ago for various crimes against humanity, headed by 'Eastenders'.

North Carolina is a very violent and dangerous place.
