I imagine (living in a country that's unbelievably racist to Roma people) that "anything" is usually pretty racist though, so it's not really everything referencing these groups of people.

But if the alternative is quite often these discussions spiralling into calls for genocide then "censoring" surely is the lesser evil.

That's a very familiar experience I think in most countries, but as you say if we can't discuss it, and we can't because mass murderers in waiting immediately hijack any attempt to do that, then we can't work on a solution.

- tpm 2mo agoIt's quite common in our neck of woods unless the discussion is censored.
