[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a family that hangs out in front of the Giant/CVS in McLean. I asked them once where they were from and the dad said (in perfectly good English) “we are from Romania”. Not sure why I was surprised by that. [/quote] As soon as I read the header on this thread I wondered if we were talking about gypsies. I don't know of any other beggars who would exploit children this way. I live in NYC and normally would never have thought there are gypsies here but my Greek, Romanian, Ukranian and Italian colleagues can spot them immediately. I was even told about a specific overpass in Brooklyn that they tend to congregate under. Since they 'learned' me on gypsies in the US, I've been more observant about beggars. The Roma tend to wear colorful, almost clashing patterns. There is residual South Asian to their features. When children are involved, there's a good chance they are Roma.[/quote]
