"It is important to be respectful of the diversity of cultures in New York City. Avoid making assumptions about people based on their appearance or background. Be mindful of the language you use and try to be sensitive to the customs and traditions of different cultures. Refrain from making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive or insensitive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to respect the personal space of others," remarked another expat in New York, the United States.
