Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Bucharest accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Bucharest and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Bucharest is a vibrant, diverse city, with a majority Romanian population, sizeable Hungarian and Romani minority populations, as well as expatriate communities from countless countries around the world. People in Bucharest are generally open-minded and accepting of diversity; however, there are some areas of the city that may be less open, so it is important to be aware of one's environment," remarked another expat who made the move to Bucharest, Romania.
"Romanians are not the most accepting of other cultures. That is not to say they are prejudiced--my personal belief is that they don't have a lot of knowledge about other cultures because this society was completely closed for 40 years under Communist rule. With Romania's new president, Traian Basescu, I imagine Romanian society will gradually become more accepting to people from all walks of life," explained one expat living in Bucharest, Romania.
