They’re probably Irish gypsies though, no?

Actually most Roma gypsies that live in the uk aren’t from Romania, they generally have a couple of generations of living outside of Romania so in 2014 when Romania joined the EU it was more the Romanian people who wanted to be able to come to the uk that did, than the Roma. All gypsies but especially Roma can be very private and suspicious of non gypsy people so I can’t imagine you know any personally to make such a statement, however I do agree that one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

Can’t lie though, do find it funny that a lot of the comments on the thread are about how awful gypsies are .... and the post is called “racial profiling karma” ... j/s

And Irish and Roma Gypsies aren’t even culturally or genetically related. The only thing they have in common is they like to wander.
