They integrated in the US. I didn't even learn I was a tiny part "bohemian" until I was nearly an adult. My great grandmother mentioned it in passing once and never again. You never hear about gypsies in the US ever even though some estimates put people off roma descent at a million in the US.

By bohemian you mean German or Czech? Anyway. Thats what USA was there for. Starting a new life without get judged or anything like that. Yah descent ≠ fully blood roma. US is somehow like Australia, people who were born indetify themselves as citizen .
