Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Norway accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Norway and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Yes, Norway has a large and diverse population. Norway has sizable minority populations of ethnic Sami, people of African, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American descent, immigrants, and refugees. Norwegians are, on the whole, quite encouraging of cultural diversity and differences. Discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, or other attributes is illegal, and most people accept and respect newcomers," said a member in Norway.
