Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Netherlands accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Netherlands and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"The Netherlands is a diverse country that has historically welcomed immigrants from all over the world. Dutch society is tolerant and welcoming of those from different backgrounds, religions, genders, and orientations. This is evidenced by the fact that the Netherlands has long been a leader in areas such as LGBT rights and women’s empowerment. In addition, the country’s top universities are highly diverse and open to people from all backgrounds. All in all, The Netherlands practices inclusivity, allowing people to express their identities without stigma," explained one expat living in Netherlands.
