There is, even among businesspeople in Anchorage, a tendency to "dress down" (there is no dress code in
any Anchorage restaurant). [citation needed] This, and a sort of frontier spirit that still lives on in Alaska
generally, gives Anchorage a relatively casual, relaxed atmosphere compared to some other American
cities. (These cultural characteristics are only more exaggerated the farther one moves out of the city into the
rest of Alaska.) The city has traditionally served as a destination for immigrants, and there are active Asian,
Eastern European, and Hispanic populations, along with communities of African Americans and various
groups of aboriginal Alaskans. Over 95 languages are spoken by students in the Anchorage School District.
