"[Roma] are the largest minority on the continent and their situation is deplorable in terms of lack of respect for their human dignity, human well-being, being targeted for hate, exclusion, and shoved to the edges of our societies," European Council commissioner for human rights Michael O’Flaherty told EUobserver in an interview.
It’s the so called travellers that are evil. Pretty much all travellers in some places are roma, but it seems increasingly few roma are travellers because I haven’t really heard much of them recently in my country.
Generally, travellers raise their children to be thieves at a young age. Once they break out of that isolated crime community cycle, they’re just people and blend into society.
Unfortunately in a lot of people’s eyes, roma people are still a travellers. Seems in my country they’ve mostly gotten jobs instead of stealing and telling fortunes though, so nobody really cares about them anymore.
Poor and marginalized people commit acts of desperation. Acts like raising their children to be thieves at a young age. Once they stop being poor and marginalized, they’re just people and blend into society.
It is more complicated than that, and it changes country by country.
There are cultural/traditional issues that contribute to perpetrating the vicious circle of poverty. One such factor is preventing kids from attending schools. This makes some people unable to speak local language and functionally unemployable, paving the road to poverty and marginalization.
That said, at least in my country this issue affects a tiny minority of the Roma population.
An even smaller minority is apolid, mostly coming from ex-Yugoslavia, which obviously causes several problems with the ability to work.
The main aspect though is that “solutions” proposed by many governments, like building “camps” when they can settle, are just ineffective from all points of view, prevent integration and foster the tendency to a conservative and closed culture.
Evil is not hereditary. There is no ethnic group of people who are evil.

This is just wrong.

Insane how people just feel comfortable posting here about human beings the same way the Nazis spoke of “Untermensch”
Like this is hideous and disgustingly open racism.
