Romania Orphans - World Bank

Remember the shocking video of Romanian orphanages in the early nineties? Deprivation still haunts those young people who must now make their way in the world as adults with little preparation and no help.

btw, the middle class parrents have an avrage of 1.3 kids (1 or 2).. gyosies on the contrary have 4,8 (.. from 1.. to 9..to12).. no wonder the orphanages are full of them..

@DJPaulMarco don't know if you still remember the comment you gave on this video, I just wanted to add a remark. The statistics you gave are the official ones, but the majoraty of gypsies in Romania consider themselfs romanian. There are so much more gypsies in Romania then 2.5%, more then hungarians. There are more Hungarians too considering that Transylvania belonged to Hungary, the government just won't addmit it so that the only official language will stay Romanian. Cherrs mate!

[DJPaulMarco]

89.5% Romanians,

6.6% Hungarians,

2.5% Roma,

1.4% other minority groups

"But dismissively calling them gypsies does not deny that the world sees them as passport holders." funny , many ethnic gypsies try to live the country searching for defenseless peoples like the italian , french.....the day they will settle there we will happily call them italians or french , like their passport will show....

this evening i witnessed a robbery , the gypsy thief run and escaped. i had no time to react or stop him. i was not his target , someone else was....

Traditionally, the death death of infants kept their number down. With modern medical care they multiply. The key is to convince them to join the modern world and self-limit population.

But dismissively calling them gypsies does not deny that the world sees them as passport holders. Understand that.

Don't worry about your English. I only know a little Romanian. The controsvery you cite is common around the world as the caucasian race does not reproduce in replacement rate and the so-called underclasses/Third Worlders breed to overtake.

[balkanmix]

you say they live in romania , not gypsy land....i really hope this country still calls itself romania , because it is very close to gypsy land , indeed! at a constant gypsy birth rate of 4-7 kids /family is probably the end of my people.......u know , we too have the right to exist .

[balkanmix]

maybe you should read again! i said : "unfortunately , they do not work to provide for their kids. this will make me work more to pump money to the budget and feed them. "

so , the accent is not on the colour , or what type of ethnic group they are. the accent is on the repercussion of their life-style on our lives.

i value more people that stop at 1 or 2 kids but feed them and educate them.....

excuse my english !
