hi Oakgrl2001, I grew up in sonoma county, and will say the area isn't exactly diverse. I did have multiple neighbors that would fly confederate flags, or go into drunken rants about how minorities are ruining the country, but there was also a bi-racial family(black husband/white wife) and a korean family directly abutting these people and no situations or altercations ever occurred. Theres always bound to be some people with embedded prejudices, but for the most part people will be friendly or just standoffish. The most visible minority are Latinos, and there have been gang problems in the rundown parts of Santa Rosa and some altercations with the police in Rohnert Park, but for the most part these areas are safe, whitewashed suburbia. I prefer the vibrancy and diversity in the inner bay, but if you're looking for a quieter lifestyle, nicer weather(imo), and access to nature, Sonoma County will be nice. Good luck and hope your enjoying your holidays.
