Ask a typical European what they think of Roma ("gypsies"), then get back to me.
- nicoburns 5y agoYeah, it boggles my mind how many people (here in the UK) who are otherwise very tolerant of other races are openly and unapologetically racist against travelling peoples.
- t0suj4 5y agoIMO The problem people have with gypsies is that they're distinctly different culture. They have found ways to benefit from the social system without giving anything in. That naturally frustrates many taxpayers. I blame the faulty social system for that. For example, if you never work a day in your life you get higher pension payout as in that case it is based on nationwide average wage. It basically penalizes getting a job.
