Dominican Republic
Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Dominican Rep accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Dominican Rep and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Absolutely diverse, very different from where I am from. While the country is predominantly catholic - that doesn't stop a lot of "other" activity. The DR is racially divided, economically divided and very much a culture of who you know or who you are related to. It can make work and business difficult at the very least. Are they accepting of differences - not really but you learn to work around that," commented one expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
