Are you a minority race and if so would you say that Utah is friendly to non-whites ?

Just FYI, all the Indian folks I knew moved out of Utah. Not sure if it is because of race or nom Christian religion

[vthallam]

Didn't hear about this before. Were they in the suburbs or salt lake city? Salt lake city now has lots of Indians.

Utah is pretty friendly overall on account of the high Mormon population.

Metro-SLC is pretty liberal and tolerant. The further out you go, the more ignorance you'll encounter.

My bigger issue is the beer. 2.5% whatttttt?

[dogma1138]

Actually friendly or just polite?

[ithinkinstereo]

Actually friendly, like go out of the way to help you friendly.

One counter-point: not sure if this is still the case, but a few years ago Provo, Utah (just south of SLC) used to have the highest per capita usage of anti-depressants. Interpret that how you will :P

I am not a minority race, but Utah is becoming quite diverse. My personal opinion is that it is a welcoming place and is a great place for families to raise their children.

Utah is a lovely place, but this stuck out to me

> Utah is becoming quite diverse

Was curious about this, as it didn't seem to fit my limited observation from my last few trips to Utah (which is again, a lovely place). The Census bureau government says Utah is >91% "white only":

Which is likely more diverse than Utah was in the past, but could not be fairly compared to California as "quite diverse" given the same number for California is 73%:

That is a fair point. Instead of the word "quite", it might have been better to use the word "more".

Federal numbers count hispanics as white. California was 42.3% non-hispanic white as of 2010, Utah was at 80% in 2013.
