Iranian Gypsies
Re: Snapshots of Tehran's Roma People: Though many people think the Roma are always on the move, most live in big cities like Tehran
Stories about the Roma and Jewish diasporas (and all diasporas) interest me greatly. My paternal grandmother was half Hungarian Gypsy and half Romanian Jew. Her parents met on the boat on the way to Ellis Island. The photo above looks like my cousin.
In addition to the blood mentioned above, I've also got Dutch, German, Irish, and English blood flowing through these veins. I guess that makes me, for better and worse, European, or non-ethnic, pan-ethnic, or maybe post-ethnic. I'd like to think this makes me 100% American.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
