Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Kazakhstan accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Kazakhstan and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"It's generally very relaxed. There is no dress code the women in summer wear very revealing clothes. Generally people are smartly dressed only the expats wear shorts in town. I have never seen homosexuals openly walking hand in hand as in Europe so I have the impression this is not tolerated, nor people kissing on the streets, so I assume its not done," said a member in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

"Kazakhstan is a culturally diverse country, with over 130 ethnic groups living within its borders. Kazakhs, Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, and Uyghurs are the largest ethnic groups in the country. People in Kazakhstan are generally accepting of differences, and the country has a long history of peaceful coexistence between its various ethnic groups. The government has also taken steps to promote tolerance and acceptance of diversity, such as introducing a national holiday to celebrate the country's cultural diversity," remarked another expat who made the move to Kazakhstan.
