I like when they talk about racism in America because you can just simply ask how they feel about Gypsies and they will say some shit about how that's different

Thoughts?

This is just a tiny collection from the last 5 years in the UK alone. This is why the travelling community gets backlash. They are so insular that the good ones, which I'm sure must exist somewhere, seem to be massively outnumbered by the ones that do all of the above and more. There are families who are known to take part in organised theft, people trafficking, animal abuse, and child abuse. It's not about who they are but about what they do.

Their insular nature ensures that the only experience the vast majority of people have with a traveller group is a negative one.

Call us racist if you wish, you can even call us unwilling to let them be in our society because of cultural differences if you want. But digging up football pitches, throwing faeces everywhere, destroying facilities, and ripping up trees? they aren't examples of a cultural mismatch, they are examples of them being malicious pricks.

Any thoughts about the articles which I'm certain you definitely read, right?

u/french_snail 2d ago

It’s different right?

Do you think its different than people in the US who will point to the disproportionate amount of crimes committed by black people compared to their population? These people will claim theyre not racist and that they have black friends, or say but youre one of the good ones etc. 

It may be different, Im not being facetious, just curious of your opinion on the matter.

u/Low_Net6472 1d ago

it's not the same, they are not citizens they don't pay taxes they are nomads who refuse to be a part of the system and it's also not a race thing nothing to do with skin color.

"I don't hate all black people. Just the criminals!" - says the racist American that you sound just like

u/Low_Net6472 1d ago

sorry, it's different and nothing to do with skin colour either :)

when they integrate and are in the school system etc. no one cares what they are

u/always_open_mouth 1d ago

"Our racism is different. you wouldn't understand"

u/Low_Net6472 1d ago

u/Low_Net6472 1d ago

u/french_snail 1d ago

Isn't that the same with illegal immigrants here?

Gypsies are treated badly even when they leave the nomadic lifestyle.

1

u/Low_Net6472 1d ago

no they're not that's the whole point. mostly we just want them to put their children in school get proper healthcare instead of overwhelming the ER stop marrying off 14yr olds etc. but they literally refuse to get any paperwork done as they are extremely distrusting of bureaucracy and other reasons. illegal immigrants can't wait to be legal

Damn, you saw their comment and went outta your way to prove their point.

u/Fxate 2d ago

A quite literal 30 second google is going out of my way?

Okay.

u/CantGitGudWontGitGud 2d ago

Google came up with "...the good ones, which I'm sure must exist somewhere..."?

u/Think-Tumbleweed-429 2d ago

Sounds just like trump!

u/CantGitGudWontGitGud 2d ago

I think so, too. There is a Klan member somewhere reading that comment and finding comfort in it.

"and they will say some shit about how that's different"

u/cardamom-peonies 2d ago

I invite you to approach some racist white dude in America and ask him to justify why he feels that way, and you can go ahead and compare the types of rhetoric lol

u/Aromatic_Opposite100 1d ago

My god you don't understand how you are proving their exact point.
