My Grandmother's birth certificate listed her race as Gypsy/Bastard, signed by the Master of the Workhouse Liverpool England. That was a long time ago. Tracie Romani People are all over, from North Africa to England to United States. And all other points in between and four directions. Me? I'm so fair you would never know. But sometimes, I can look at someones eyes and just know. I saw a girls eyes on a Subway shop TV commercial and said to myself if she ain't Roma I'll eat my hat. Look at Elvis Presley's eyes sometime.Casimirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746715076625385730.post-30587931655435660512010-09-20T16:27:38.570-07:002010-09-20T16:27:38.570-07:00Oh Tracie, the frustrations of computers. I just ...Oh Tracie, the frustrations of computers. I just composed a long comment and then it totally disappeared. I know it dates me, but I am sometimes suspicious of all this internet stuff. Where did my articulate and thought out comment go?<br /><br />Here in the US, Romani people try not to stand out too much. Many of us are assimilated to one degree or another. Of course, that has pluses and minuses. Those who live in open communities are often subjected to harassment as obvious in the case of the Marks family in Spokane WA back in the late 80's.<br /><br />In Europe, the Roma/Sinti do not have the privledge of blending. People know who we are, whether it be by our language, lifestyle or the persistent poverty that plagues us. In western Europe, the Romani immigrants are obvious by their poverty and by the "camps" they create to live in.<br /><br />I have a young Romani friend who was adopted when she was 4 from an orphanage in Romania. To me she looks like a typical, and beautiful young American woman. She recently returned to Romania and to her shock, she was identified on the street and was spit upon insulted and terrorized.<br /><br />I wish I had a better answer for you Tracie and I hope that others might add to this discussion.<br />MorganMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992904627011818845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746715076625385730.post-27177441667834634322010-09-20T15:19:59.143-07:002010-09-20T15:19:59.143-07:00And I just want to make certain that it's unde...And I just want to make certain that it's understood, I in no way support these efforts. I find it appalling and very much like a modern day witchhunt. <br /><br />I'm just curiuos how they are gathering their information.

They don't look any different than anyone else I see. <br /><br />How are they singled out in France? From where they live or how they dress? Because quite frankly I don't think that I would be able to pinpoint a Rromani just in passing. Unless I was very focused on finding them. Not that it would matter here in the US to me.
