Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Merida accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Merida and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Merida is a culturally-rich city full of diversity. There is a wide variety of people's backgrounds and nationalities living in Merida, including indigenous people, descendants of Spanish settlers, immigrants from other Latin American countries, and Europeans. People living in Merida are generally respectful of others and accept people of different backgrounds, customs, and beliefs. People from diverse cultures support each other and collaborate in achieving meaningful goals," remarked another expat in Merida, Mexico.
"This city is huge and very diverse. It's kind of a melting pot of different peoples and lifestyles. For example, the north part of town is completely modern, with buildings and homes that look very stark with linear architecture. The newer malls are also there. Other colonias range from old, historic structures to a mixture. I live in Campestre, which is one of the more quiet, residential parts but still has plenty of stores and shops and is only 6 miles from Centro (downtown). There is also Uptown, which has its own vibe. So, depending on what you like and how much noise and people you like to be around, there is a colonia for everyone and all get along and are friendly and welcoming," said a member in Merida, Mexico.
