Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Vietnam accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Vietnam and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"People in this town are very conservative and most accept the diversity that expats bring to this town. However the older people seem to be less accepting of expats and if an expat is dressed differently or has pink hair for example they are almost disgusted. So if you dont stand out you will be fine in Vung Tau. Blending in is good," commented one expat who made the move to Vung Tau, Vietnam.

"Yes, there is a great deal of diversity throughout Vietnam. The country is made up of approximately 54 separate ethnic groups, and each one contributes to the overall cultural richness of the nation. Additionally, the nation’s population is made up of a mix of religions such as Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, among many others. Despite the wide range of origins and beliefs, the people of Vietnam are generally accepting of differences and strive for harmony within the community," remarked another expat in Vietnam.
