Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Kenya accepting of differences?

When we asked people about diversity in Kenya and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"This is an incredibly diverse city with tens of thousands of white, Indian, Chinese and other foreign residents. You might have to look hard to see them though as people tend to stay in their own locales," commented one expat who made the move to Nairobi, Kenya.

"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Kenya. Kenya is home to a variety of ethnic groups, including the Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii, and Maasai, among others. People in Kenya are generally accepting of differences, and the country has a long history of peaceful coexistence between its various ethnic groups," remarked another expat in Kenya.
