Redditors are delusional about foreign countries because they're all Americans and have only heard about other countries via mainstream media. They think the less White a place is, the safer it is because the American education system has drilled into their gullible skulls that anything vaguely European is evil.
For kicks, I did a quick lookup on the State Department's website for Laos; most of the country is on Level 2 Travel Advisory (exercise increased caution) because of an epidemic of drug trafficking, gang violence, banditry, and explosive ordinance left over from the Indochina War. Xaisomboun Province in particular is on Level 3 Travel Advisory because there's consistent clashes between the military there and anti-government groups that have resulted in people getting shot. For reference, the travel advisory level goes up to 4, with countries like North Korea getting a level 4 designation.
If you go to Laos you risk getting blown up by mines, shot by drug traffickers, or shot by anti-government forces. The only places in the US that could get close to this level of violence are bughive cities like Detroit, though I know redditors consider cities to be the only parts of America that actually exist so I guess I wouldn't be shocked. And even then, Detroit doesn't have fucking unexploded ordinance laying around!
