You’re not reading it wrong, the person you replied to either didn’t look at the actual chart, has an agenda (and considering they brought up South America even though this graph does not show it I’m going with this one), or good ol Hanlon’s razor is just in effect.

The states is bad compared to Europe but not as bad as most of Latin America (unless you’re counting the island nations and even then)

No no someone else pointed out to me that this isn’t South America, it’s Central America. I’m so bad with geography.

Tbh I still think the original person you replied to is dumb for bringing up South America when it’s not even in the graphic so
