How Come You Never See A Hispanic Panhandler?

How come you never see Latinos or Asians begging for money on the streets? Do these groups have less mental illness and crippling addiction than the norm? Or do these groups simply take better care of their own? When I see mentally ill Orthodox Jews, they’re typically muttering tehillim (Psalms) as they walk the streets. Many Orthodox Jews do have their hands out for money but Orthos in America are rarely criminally violent. Cultural values must penetrate the psyches and affect the behavior of the most insane and addicted.
