No. There's a lot of truth in what you say, but you paint with a
rather broad brush - understandably. I admit to having only one
experience with evacuees, but they don't fit the standard profile. 87
year old white couple from the coast (but not NO). They left early
but have heard that they lost everything. They are staying with a
niece here in town and do not plan to go back to Louisiana. Kinda
difficult to start over at 87. They have used their FEMA card for
food and clothes. I expect there are a *lot* of people like them.
Unfortunately, we don't hear about them.
We also had a family who came in to apply for aid claiming to be
Katrina evacuees. Since they'd been on aid in Arizona for the last
year their story didn't fly.
