After we got finished with the assigned blogs, we talked about Roma. They are known as Gypsy. Gypsy is a negative term that has been stuck with the Romas. We watched a video on the Romas. The video talked about Maria the missing little girl. It talked about the girl being taught to dance and beg for money in the streets. The "adopted parents" were charged with kidnapping. The new mother said that she wanted to child back after they took the little girl away from her. Roma originated in India and then later on migrated to Europe. Over the centuries, they have been known as thieves.
