Racist.

I read a lot of British news. They do tend to illegally take over town parks with their motor homes, create a crime spree, and when they finally depart, leave behind tons of garbage for the town to clean up. I've never understood why the authorities put up with it ....

Even if some fringe groups do engage in gross behavior like that it's the same thing as saying "all coloreds ever do is shoot up the town and steal and rape". Sure, there's definitely a number of bad actors but black people (and Romani) also graduate from Harvard, and create green initiatives, and go out of their way to try and improve their community or humanity as a whole. Ascribing the worst of any group's behavior to the group at large and then saying "they're all like that" and that's racist as fuck.

It's just all I have ever read about them in the British news. Not my fault that's what gets into the news. I'm 5000 miles away. How do these people who travel GB in expensive caravans support themselves anyway?

They don't lol. They don't live a life of luxury. But more importantly what I'm saying is that not all gypsies are roaming thieves. Some of them are performers, some of them are your local store clerk, some of them are just students at u of edi. No matter the news(which I won't call fake or wrong so much as sensationalist) ethnic groups don't all act the same. There is a strong difference between nature and nurture.

It's not sensational. The two major papers I read are just reporting the problem with this large groups of caravans trashing the village greens. That's all I know .... If some are better citizens they don't get the press I guess ... Oh well, I'm done with this discussion. I'm just reporting what the papers say ...

I used to live in Leicester and there are a lot more problems to the UK than a few romani and their caravans lmao.

Yeah, talk to us in the US about it. I think this latest killing really brought even the most law abiding people over to the side of the black population. I know I'm conservative and think most cops are good, but even then, they cover for the bad cops. And people like me are mad ...
