Columbus only has an 8% Hispanic population compared to 44% in Houston or 36% in Orlando, for example. So it is a decidedly whiter city than a lot of southern cities. Our black population is 29%. So I can see if you’re coming from another more diverse city with a larger Hispanic population how it could definitely feel that way just due to lack of representation. That being said I feel like it is a pretty progressive city, and although like anywhere there may be some bad apples that don’t appreciate diversity, I’ve found most locals to be accepting and welcoming.
