Never seen it before, in many years living around Seattle area all the homeless I saw were black, white and a few Latinos.

Recently I have begun to see Indians at the side of the road begging for money from passing cars. In one case it was a woman with her kids. In another case an Indian dude with his whole family sitting there and in another case just an Indian dude. They all looked healthy and able.

Granted that’s only 3 or 4 homeless Indians where I see dozens of homeless from other backgrounds. Just that the Indians stood out really only because I had never seen it before. Like, ever.

I can’t believe these people came as h1b. I did read in the news that Indians are starting to cross illegally on the Mexican border and other means of crossing illegally. Is that what’s happening?

Anyone else see this?

Please don’t think this is an anti Indian thread, it’s really very rare and that’s why it’s notable. Obviously India itself has a lot of poverty too, so maybe some of it is bleeding over here now.
