Racist much? Most of the people
I see begging are hispanic.
Like at the walmart in porter and walmart on 1960 in humble. Don't forget the new kroger on 59 northpark.
Im romani ( gypsy) I dont do shoddy work, on people's roofs or driveways, and to assume that a race or culture is automatically labeled a con is disturbing.
I have seen plenty of crappy contractors who are white, black or hispanic. If you were to say something like, oh no big deal
There black there all the same. You would be bombarded and be considered a racist.
But i guess the whole politically correct respect everyone dosnt count for us
@chopsaw: I'm sorry you are taking this so personal. You should understand that people refer to groups of people unjustly.
Even in Romania (I take it as your origin), people label groups unjustly.
A large number of people refer to those who travel from place to place begging for a living as "gypsies". These people don't use the term as an ethnic nomenclature, but more as a general definition (erroneously categorizing a heritage).
If you are a true gypsy and an honest person, stand up straight and be proud of it. Don't let the hypocritical categorization drag you down.
I have lived in other countries and have accepted the help of gypsies who did good work and who were accepted in many communities.
Like everywhere, there are good and there are not so good of every kind of people.
I'm Italian, and when someone refers to me as a Dego, I just say "darn tootin and proud of it."
Thanks for standing up as an American, and may God grant you the understanding to accept the ignorance of others. And, ALWAYS, Treat your brothers as you would have them treat you.
