According to who again? They ARE aware that drug cartels are targeting tourist spots in Mexico and the crime and racial issues in South Africa are high, right?

Almost half of the areas listed in the Mexico link have high kidnapping rates

This list isn't about safety.

Well, if there's high crime rates going on then I would venture to say that no, those places arent very friendly if they arent very safe.

Once again, this list is purely about how friendly people are. It has nothing to do with crime rates or safety concerns.
If we focus on safety, then no place in the world is completely safe, no matter where you travel.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would check this list solely when deciding where to travel.

This is true. Even a lot of countries over in Europe have put out warnings to their own citizens that certain states over in America are not safe due to high rates of crime. California being one of them.
