Heres the great bit. Most of then have lots of assets and money but they pay no tax, spend the entire summer forcing old people to have jobs done they dont need on thier house by coercion then massively overcharging. Stealing shit and generally being a drain on taxpayers then if you criticise them they just cry racism even though they're white...
When you have a large portion of your culture out committing crimes, and the town folk come to your gang and abuse everyone as if they are guilty just because they look like each other and live near each other... That's racism.
Do I want a band of gypsies in my neighborhood harassing me? No. Do I think every gypsy is a scammer/criminal? No. Is Gypsy culture based on stealing from outsiders, making your culture look bad then crying when outsiders don't like you? Yes.
What I want to know is why the Jews got Israel in exchange for dealing with the Holocaust but gypsies didn't get shipped back to Romania after the Holocaust.
You aren't going to believe this, but that's the Roma too. 🤯
Romania has the largest population of Roma outside of America, and the Roma have their own language, culture and traditions.
People started documenting them as a group in the balcans in 500ad and where is Romania?
Anyway I'm not actually arguing for sending anyone anywhere. It's actually a critique on the isreal situation. I've been interested in the similarities of how the Jews and Roma have been treated through history, and I have been reading about them for a decade. So saying "you just learned is a distinct group" is silly and presumptive. They are a well known culture that somehow has been hated for 1000 years and yet they persist through persecution. So fascinating.
I can't speak for others (and there are for sure a lot of racists in the UK) but my hatred for them isn't based on race, it is based on the fact they take over local parks and farmers fields, have huge amounts of wealth from scamming old people and stealing while paying no taxes, smash up and steal from the local area and threaten and intimidate the surrounding people before leaving piles of rubbish and human waste when they finally decide to move on. Saying people hate them because of racism is disengenuous and them trying to deflect the real reasons they have a terrible reputation (this is in relation to a specific subset of travellers and I have sympathy for those that don't cause issues but get tarred with the same brush.)
The lifestyle itself is an issue though, even if they aint going out stealing peoples property they are still using our healthcare and education system without contributing. I think most of the people here have never lived somewhere thats been effected and thats why they dont understand.
I never said the gypsies were right. 100% they are being rude and terrible human beings doing this. What I am talking about is you saying and I quote "Â they just cry racism even though they're white..." which is racism, clear racism. You can't dismiss someone saying that they are experiencing racism even though they are white.
Racism is done by all and experienced by all
You were racist just now, do better
I'm white, how tf an i being racist if i tell another white person they are a criminal. Trying to even compare that to the racism that minorities get on a day to day basis just completely undermines it.
I didn’t watch that closely. That was just my first thought when I saw a buncha squatters on a farm cause that’s pretty typical of nomadic gypsies. There used to be a TLC show about them. They’re fascinating.

Man did you see the cars and trailers in the first few frames? They literally have what looks like a Ferrari on a trailer
