> Saying an entire _nation_ is backward, which encompasses many individual states, countless peoples and different cultures because a handwave of _corruption_ is such a simplification of the scenario as to be laughable. It makes you look unspeakably bad, reinforces every bad assumption about you, and is fundamentally wrong on the face of it.

It’s worth noting that **DrDeth** has also **[simultaneously defended Mexico](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-other-countries-doing-right-to-prevent-mass-shootings/800900/63)** as a fine example of an outstanding western country. He does this in debates about gun violence statistics, insisting that the US numbers must be compared with countries like Mexico, Honduras, and Yemen, and that comparing the US with economically similar countries like Canada, the UK, Australia, or the countries of the European Union is “cherry-picking”. In fact **DrDeth** has previously stated that my insistence that the US numbers should be compared with those of socioeconomically similar countries proves that I’m a bigot who hates brown people.

That kind of nonsensical gibberish also explains how **DrDeth** can hold two such contradictory opinions of Mexico at the same time: he’s an insincere dumbass who argues in bad faith.
