Man, point one of that pinned comment is beyond tone deaf. Basically saying your personal experience doesn’t count, because statistically…
Yeah, not going to bother if that’s his attitude.

That’s how you make scientific conclusions… don’t like it? Take it up with the statistician.

That’s cause most stories you hear about them are based on hearsay, stereotypes, the effects of being pushed to the fringe of society, and racism.

I was thinking of all the stories from people who’ve been victims of a crime perpetrated by them, or social workers etc who have dealt with them.
But sure, I guess that’s all hearsay.

It’s genuinely frightening to me that so much European rhetoric against Roma people sounds like 1950s US-era rhetoric against desegregation. Like the US is incredibly racist, and Europeans still somehow find ways to shock me over how they talk about an entire ethnic group.

I’ve been bullied by a Roma student. Yet I don’t blame the entire ethnic group for that you donkey.

I’m sorry that happened to you.
