The bums in Cambridge are almost always white.
- epi0Bauqu 18y agoThere is a disproportionate number of white bums, but there are certainly a lot of black bums too. So I would not say they are almost always white.
- rw 18y agoWhat would be the proportionate number of white bums?
- epi0Bauqu 18y agoI don't know exactly, but I've been to a lot of cities, and Cambridge is off the average.
- ardit33 18y agomy favorite is that black guy that hangs before Au Bon Pain that uses flatery to get money: "Young lady", "Big guy", "Pretty lady", could you spare some change? SF bums are not that pleasant.
- brlewis 18y agoThe same is true of a lot of Boston beggars. I find people in the Boston area generally well-spoken. Education is emphasized a lot, not just in Cambridge.
