cultural diversity

There is a lot of cultural diversity in my country, spanning from racial diversity, to ethnic and religious diversity. In the United States, there are people from many religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and many others. There are also people from many different countries. Throughout America, there are programs to help people learn about other ethnicity's view, because education can really help to prevent hate.
In Austin where i live, there is a program called interfaith council. every year, there is a meeting, where people from all different faiths come together and teach other people about there faith, in a hope to promote understanding of people that are different than we are. All in all, there is a lot of tolerance in our country.
