Trinidad and Tobago is generally open and socially mixed, so people are expected to be respectful of different ethnicities, religions, and family structures, and casual discrimination or intrusive questions about race, class, or politics can come across badly. In everyday life you will see a strong blend of
Afro-Trinidadian,
Indo-Trinidadian, Chinese, Syrian-Lebanese, and Creole influences, and being easygoing, polite, and nonjudgmental is the safest way to fit in.
