Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Indonesia accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Indonesia and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Religion is not diverse. It's mostly Muslim among the locals, and aetheism and Christianity among the expats. Their are of coarse plenty of folk beyond that mold though," said another expat in Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Even though it's a Muslim country, Balikpapan and Jakarta are filled with various nationalities. This is basically because employees of foreign companies live here. And, because many people from Asian countries like Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong take their annual holidays here. Accepting differences? If it means culture, no but they are strong to letting other culture/countries know that being a Muslim means being one," wrote a member who made the move to Jakarta, Indonesia.
