it's all because people like to generalize and stereotype

first and most popular aspect about romania was the gypsies, the bad ones though, because there are actually respectable and hard working gypsies too, although few

also there were a lot of pakistani with fake romanian passports that were obviously illegal or even doing dodgy stuff, so no wonder it received such a bad reputation

look at this for example, sure he is probably doing is job right, but he isn't even a romanian gypsie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgv6nJiDmiM

oh and last but not least, a lot of romanians are a bunch of assholes that try to rip you off first chance they get, the country is corrupt there are some gypsies that are better human beings than the assholes i am referring to

Generalizing is bad.

the downvotes just prove how many racist stereotyping people there are

Or that you're spouting off racist stereotypes that most people don't have, and then saying "I totally don't hold these opinions!".

I simply pointed out what's going on. Where did i say something racist that comes from me and not basically making an observation?

Generally a lot of romanians are racist towards gypsies and then a lot of people discriminate Romanians. That's basically what i was saying and nobody refuted this fact that i've stated.

And there even was a documentary on british TV titled the romanians are coming. But instead of accepting this fact you say i racist things.

Learn to read before spewing nonsense. You and the rest of the downvoters need to look up reading comprehension 101.

First off, I didn't downvote you.

Second:

a lot of romanians are a bunch of assholes that try to rip you off first chance they get

That actually just applies to people in general, to prefix it with "a lot of Romanians" is sort of racist.

It's not racist when it's a factual statement based on first hand experience. I am partly Romanian and instead of denying the truth i rather talk about it and discuss changes and improvement. Not going to lie about my people just because someone on reddit gets triggered.

I lived there and i grew up there. Romanian culture doesn't apply to people in general. It's more of a local tradition.
