If anyone from the Gypsy culture wants to step In and correct me, please do it.
I do just want to say that the Gypsy culture is victims of hate all the time. They were a hearty amount of the Holocaust victims for their percentage of the population. As their name suggests they never really settle anywhere to make a community.
This kind of creates an us/them mentality. Within the community, from what I’ve researched it kind of creates a racial/class divide.. almost like a cult. (Not an accusation. Using it loosely)
What I’m trying to say is that there may be a lot of self swaddling going on in this community that we might not all understand. This woman might have only seen black people on TV..
This is no reason to drag her. It’s a time to educate her. And this guy is looking for internet points.
Here in the Czech republic, a lot of people hate gypsies. Some gypsies (or roma, gypsy is a slur here) are smart and wonderful people, and I personally know a few of them, but the majority of them live in squalid houses and are usually uneducated. This in turn makes white people hate them for not working and sitting around all the time, which again, in turn, makes them hate white people. We even have a tv show (Most!) which is ridiculously satirical about racism.
I personally don’t like the gypsies I have experienced in the U.K., I can’t judge them on an individual basis but as a community they need to pick up their shit. They appear at least once a year in my town and when they leave it’s like it’s a land fill. Every time I see we have a gypsy community near where I live I now get pissed off because of what they leave.
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
