Pago Pago - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?

Yes. Significant. Distinct caste system. Expats tend to have positions of authority and so are tier 1 or 2 "elites". Gender inequality tends not to be an issue except on a personal level. I never saw any indication of religious prejudice, but there tended to only be Christians or atheists on the island. Not sure what reaction there would be to other religious groups. I tend to think there would be none. - Feb 2018
