    It’s not racist. It’s fact. Romany Gypsies are notoriously scummy.

    “Race” is a construct of the Victorians and utterly corrupt. People are people. Some groups of people are less well behaved culturally than others.

      @maculata No, what you said is double-folded racist:

      1. It assumes all Roma people steal - which is not true, there are great people of Roma origin that contributed greatly to the society, but the situation this minority went through along the history put it more to the edge of the societies and made them more exposed to criminal activity.
      2. It assumes that all Romanian people are Roma people who steal and scam people - so, as a Romanian myself, thanks for making me a thief or a scammer I guess? :)

        My experiences in Western Europe are purely with the scum of your nation then. Why not keep them chained up rather than soiling Romania’s reputation abroad?

            Yeah whatever.

            Plenty of Irish and Scottish travellers that are just as scummy. It’s a people problem not a racial problem.

            Thieving, scamming, environment-destroying shits all deserve an end I cannot describe here.

      I’m not racist for saying Black people are more likely to commit crimes. That just a fact.

      That’s how you sound.
