Those are not homeless.

They are gypsies.

How narrow-minded of them. They need to embrace the diversity. /s

Prezactly. Had to deal with them in Poland when I visited there.

OMG,I forgot about them. I remember my mother-in-law talking about the Tinkers’ wagons in Ireland.

Why do they call the ‘Irish Travelers’ when they are not from Ireland?.........

I thought they originated in Ireland as the gang of them that flourishes in North Carolina do.

Who really knows ?

There’s not a shortage of reasons gypsies are loathed in Europe. A Romanian I knew once told of one of their traditions back home: putting gypsies in a garbage can and rolling them down a hill!

Those are the tinkers, or “Irish gypsies”. Completely different origin, but similar lifestyles.

No, the tinkers in Ireland were not really gypsies. They were descendants of people who had been displaced from their land by the English, but they were of Irish blood.

The Irish Travelers in the US are of Irish blood, it appears.

There are Hungarian gypsies, too. Although many didn’t make it past Hitler.

Thanks for all of the info.

I worked for a phone company and we were all aware of the gypsies. They all had the same two surnames in our area (MA). They mailed cash or used money orders. Strange.
