1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Memphis, TN, USA here. No, it’s not culturally diverse. It’s been almost 30 years since living in Washington, DC, and that place is a plethora of cultural diversity. I still miss living there just for this reason. Where I worked, the employees were not only born in the US, but in Mexico, Peru, Ethiopia, Viet Nam, Cambodia, the Philippines and probably a few other countries. We had a blast working together and learning about each others’ cultures.
