Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Manta accepting of differences?

When we asked people about diversity in Manta and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Manta is a diverse city, with residents from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In general, people in Manta, Ecuador are welcoming and accepting of differences. It is not uncommon to encounter people of different cultures and walks of life, who interact regularly and peacefully. Manta has a strong tradition of tolerance and mutual respect," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Manta, Ecuador, Ecuador.

"The people are polite as a rule and accepting. They do have a strong belief in a class system here. The Catholic church is very strong in Ecuador and encourages all including the poor to have a lot of children which they can not afford. Crime is mostly in certain areas and quite often revenge type crimes. The average tourist will find people helpful but do need to be aware that they will try and take advantage financially wise. I have no fear living in Manta but am aware that they do have crime," commented one expat who made the move to Manta, Ecuador.
