'Others' in America

http://www.nowpublic.com/world/america-s-gypsies

As ‘others’ in America I chose the gypsies. In history they have left quite a footprint, especially during the Great Depression. Most commonly they are to be known to have dark skin and hair and speak Romanian. They are seen as ‘others’ in America because they have no passport but are in fact ‘citizens’ of America. They travel across the country and sleep in different places every night, with caravans or just in the open air.

In the 1930’s they were described like "They had the covered wagons, and they pulled them with horses. And then they'd park somewhere along the line to feed the horses, eat there along the road," which is a lot like the way they can be described nowadays.

’ America’s gypsies are the people who travel in small bands, living on the streets in public spaces, often by libraries.’

Every group of gyspies has their own background, tradition and culture, but they have one thing in common and that is the fact that they all have more chance to survive in America due to wealth of its citizens. In America therefore they are seen as ‘dirty’ people, people they do not want to know or be part of. This is due to the fact that they are ‘homeless’ so therefore do not pay taxes, but they pollute the employment world by moving around and taking advantage of temporary jobs they can get.
