Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Honduras accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Honduras and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Honduras is a culturally diverse country, with a population made up of many different ethnic and racial backgrounds. People in Honduras are generally accepting of differences, and there is a strong sense of community and solidarity among the people. The country is also home to a variety of religious beliefs, and Hondurans are generally tolerant of different faiths," wrote a member who made the move to Honduras.

"The area is very diversified. You will meet locals, mainlanders who moved for employment who aren't always bi-lingual like islanders, Americans, Canadians, and Australians. But you will also find Central & South Americans. Overall everyone is very pleasant to each other. As an American I was worried about being accepted but that hasn't been the case.

I don't mind giving a child a dollar or helping someone who is trying to sell a hand-made item. I don't always give money every time asked and the local vendors get to know the full-timers versus visitors. Vendors recognize you are not interested in buying tourist items so they just move on," explained one expat living in Roatan, Honduras.
