"Yes, that is correct"

Wrong. The major difference is in reproductive age. The biological reproductive age is the same but the cultural reproductive age is different. In many countries, including Mexico, reproduction starts at an earlier age.

Also, in Mexico and other nations to the south, they have what called Rapto, the ritual abduction and rape of the woman as part of the marriage ritual. The female co-operates.

This article is full of mis-info.

First he uses two sources that he bounces back and forth. One is the ICE data that is linked to #14 and the other is the Violent Crimes Institute which is Schurman-Kauflin.

On the ICE data he goes from Foreign National to illegal alien to Mexican illegal alien. Also he slides from exploitation to sexual exploitation to sexual molestation.

As for the VCI data, that method is using the incarceration data to extrapolate back to a crime rate. There is no correlation between incarceration rate and crime rate. If you calculate crime rates of all groups using this method, then add them all up, the erroneous total number of crimes is about double of the total number of crimes reported.

Ms Schurman-Kauflin's previous study in which she used the same method to calculate the murder rate of women has also been shot down.

I stand by my previous statement, but will reword it a bit: Rape is less socially repugnant in Mexican culture than it is in American and Western culture. This is because rape is part and parcel of Machismo.

In Mexico, a man who rapes is considered virile and manly and rape is seen more as "seduction" than forcible, non-consensual sex. A man who rapes other men is still regarded as macho as long as he is the pitcher and not the catcher (to a certain extent, less so than hetero rape). Of course, this acceptance of rape has decreased with the passage of time in Mexico, and there are many who do not hold this view, but to deny the existence of this cultural dynamic is to put our society at risk, seeing as how we have about 50 million of them in our country.

The cultural acceptance of rape has little to do with reproductive age, IMO.
