Spain
Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Spain accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Spain and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Spain is a culturally diverse nation, with a mix of native groups, immigrants, and diverse religions. In recent years, the Spanish government has made efforts to ensure that diversity is respected, and that everyone is treated fairly and equally. Discrimination based on religion, gender, race, age or sexual orientation is illegal, and there is a heightened awareness amongst the general public regarding the importance of cultural diversity and the acceptance of differences. While there are still some areas of improvement, overall the Spanish people are increasingly becoming more open to and accepting of diversity," remarked another expat in Spain.
"Personally as a Filipina/British expat, I have not experienced anything negative. However, Valencians are very proud of their culture and language. Valencia city is becoming more diverse and English speaking shops and services are now becoming more popular," said a member in Valencia, Spain.
