“Being white or coming from Europe doesn’t make you superior”: Topo Mayor’s lesson in response to criticism of his work as a rescuer

Héctor Méndez, widely known as Topo Mayor and the founder of a rescue organization, recently addressed criticisms regarding his professional methodology. He asserted that a rescuer's effectiveness is not determined by their country of origin, skin color, or international certifications, emphasizing that European background or being white does not inherently confer superiority in rescue operations.

In a separate profile, the Argentine traveler Darío Kaden, 58, was highlighted for his career of extreme global experiences. Kaden, a native of Rosario, has spent decades pursuing unconventional travel, including a notable period living among the Nenets, a nomadic tribe in Siberia.
