All of these examples have happened at both the regional, legacy and things I've heard as a jumpseater. To say that these things aren't offensive to minorities or not prevalent is simply not true.
You must fly for a different airline than I do.
But myself and many other old school surfers don't go down to baja anymore...the violence is real, and kidnapping is in fact a sideline for the narcos. That's not racism, just common sense despite what political correctness might dictate. It may be starting to get better, but I'm going to give it some time. Mexico city is OK though if you avoid the bad parts.
