"While foreigners (specially caucasians) do stand out easily in Mexico, that doesn´t mean that you are automatically are less safe than anyone else as long as you stick to the same basic rules that you would apply in any big city with crime issues (Stay out of bad neighborhoods, don´t wear anything flashy, use the buddy system, etc). Tourism is still a big industry for the country and there is a lot of information out there on the dos and donts of staying safe. That being said, enjoy your visit if you ever decide to stop by :)."
