Well, except that the Roma Gypsies are a special case as their "integration" has been for too long unsuccessful or more directly said - self-boycotted. In fact, their integration was unsuccessful back in India, their homeland, where they recently were found via genetic studies to descend from the Untouchables caste. In their culture, unless you steal gold, it's not considered theft. Some of their tribes still cut the right thumb of their children as it's easier to pickpocket without it. They buy their women on auctions, and there's polygamy with some. There many details about the "culture" of Roma Gypsies that Westerners are unaware of. I highly recommend you the movie "Hotel Paradise" [0], which will greatly change your perspective! The entire movie is free to watch in its entirety, it seems surreal, but it's only real!
