Seriously, are you guys kidding?
Holland is an embarrassing place to admit that you grew up in.
If you think diversity is white people and the hispanic people that the white people pay minimum wage to, then this place is full of diversity!
Coming from a mixed race family, (neither white nor hispanic by the way) I can remember the looks the 5 of us got while walking downtown before we moved to Holland from the Detroit suburbs. And they weren't nice... they ranged from curious stares (yes, people of different races can have children together) to disgust.
In general, people from West Michigan love West Michigan and are proud of it and never want to leave. I am glad I'm not from Holland and I am glad that I left.
Summers are beautiful here though... but just as beautiful anywhere else along the Great Lakes.
