The difference is when it's a percent or 5 of population. Or when it's vast majority of that population. In general population, we just lock them up, try to isolate from old friends and get their life back on track. For gypsies, their whole culture is immersed in that. We can either change their culture or leave them as-is. But if we leave them as-is, they stay outcasts. And then we get blamed for not integrating them :) Racism in what way? That we don't want to let gypsies live in antisocial ways? I confident I don't have any problems with gypsies as long as they live like productive members of society. And I hate stealing drug-dealing scums equally no matter what their ethnicity or culture is. If a gypsy gets clean and wants to join the society, nothing stops them. If a gypsy comes in regular clothes, it'd be hard to tell them someone is a gypsy and not just darker skin. Of course, it's easiest to use racism card all the time. But sometimes the problem is the unfortunate culture.
