Tyler, A friend if mine travels to Mexico a lot. He's Hispanic descent and he also feels safe & probably is. But I'm white and I stick out like a sore thumb in Mexico. Locals automatically know that I'm not local and I draw attention which makes me a target.
Do you look like you are from the area or do you look "European - American"? If you look like you are from the area then you blend in & will not be a target. I would not be a target in any Northern European country.

My parents even lived down there for several years, and I have an uncle that currently lives in Tijuana and commutes across the border to his job in California every day. Fears of Mexico are irrational IMO. I've never seen a place as dangerous in Mexico as many areas here in the Los Angeles basin.
