Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in El Salvador accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in El Salvador and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Everyone gets along and for most part everyone stays out of each other's business. The church goes are busy visiting everyone's house to boost their memberships. The community is very poor and each month around the first and the fifteenth, the people receive money from their families in the United States. We average 5 murders a month and most are drug related. The gangs exist in the other cities. The gangs visit once in awhile to attempt to collect rent from the business people but the polica watch for it and chase the gangs away out of the downtown city limits," wrote a member who made the move to Nejapa, El Salvador.
