Your so-called stereotypes of Gypsies is based on reality. We have significant Gypsy community in my city who are professional beggars, entertainers with dancing monkeys and goats and wear a lot of jewellery and colourful clothes. They have their own language which no one else understands. I have had a few very negative encounters with them, including one dangerous and now feel it safer to avoid any eye contact. To ignore this reality as you do, is a dishonesty.

To omit or deny that many Roma live in a culture of criminality is just as bad as omiting or denying the fact that many Roma do not do so. Unjust oppression of a people group does not imply a justification of that same culture; it does not imbue them with some vague cultural righteousness.

In Italy the percantage of Roma arrested for pickpocketing vastly surpasses the percentage of Roma that live in Italy. I would suspect the same is true throughout Europe.

Undesirable cultures do not imply "bad genetics". The factors in the genesis of a culture in a people group are many and complex and cultures change over time, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse.

This video is factual, but sophomorically biased. It omits a long history of actual criminality among (some) of the Roma just as the mafia represents some of the Italian and the Yakuza represents some of the Japanese culture.

The Roma culture is ss much more complex than this simplistic powderpuff video would have you believe.

My only experience with the Romani was when I lived in Germany in the 1970s and then they then free to move about camping in certain spaces for periods of time and then moving on. They had certain rights and were protected after the war. They were not assimilated and didn’t want to be. What was apparent is they were not poor and engaged in a lot of shady business, all drove Mercs and had elaborate large caravans. The children were all accomplished pick pockets who would mob you as a group touching you up so you kept away from them. They lived their lives and others left them alone.

I had a Roma friend (I think), let's call him Fred, because he used so many names, he would forget what to call himself, and would often not respond to "his" name. His brother-in-law owned a "chop-shop" where stolen cars would chopped up and sold as parts, and his wife earned their living by hakerin (fortune telling) always waiting for rich old lady for the big win. So, people are people, but the Romani culture is not good for the Romanis, or for their hosts. A culture should grow and evolve.

My aunt was briefly abducted by Roma in WV in the 20s. They didn’t harm her…just scooped her off the sidewalk in front of her house. Her sisters saw it happen and ran to get my grandma, who was at the store. The police knew where the camp was, rolled up, asked for my aunt and they gave her back with a shrug. They were then obliged to leave town.

I was born in Portugal. For a period of time, my family resided in an area inhabited by quite a few Roma families. While they did not live in caravans, and a few even pursued higher education, they were generally challenging to interact with. They neither integrated into the broader community nor showed any intention of doing so, they keep their own culture as a priority always. The laws seem to have little impact on them. They are treated with caution but often manage to evade consequences for actions others could not. Many are involved in questionable activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, and various crimes, including murder. They bully and intimidate people, and openly proclaim their independence and their commitment to live according to their own rules. Being comfortable with their way of life and conduct proved to be a significant challenge for me many times.

We had them in Lancashire England in the 60s and 70s. The women would go round the village knocking on doors selling clothes pegs, if you didn't buy any they cursed you. Items would go missing during their stay. Needless to say they were not welcomed.

I got a friend in Croatia today who has had his house looted by Gypsys, when he is away at work ! Took his house heater etc. There are real reasons that some people are not liked.

Clickbait. No dark DNA secret. Title should read a brief history of the Roma

[AVKnecht]

Everyone who ever had the misfortune to live next to one of these people will immediately understand why they are hated so much

no prejudice- just experience & knowledge

Although she never spoke of her roots, my Grandma was possibly Roma. When my cousin began researching our family, she was unable to find any birth record for our Grandma. This made us remember certain things from her life.

There are several reasons why it is believed that she was possibly Roma. Firstly, she had a distinctly un-British appearance, with a swarthy complexion and black hair that remained free of grey until late in her life. This trait was passed on to both my aunt and uncle, though not to my mother.

Secondly, during my childhood, there was a Roma (then called Romany) encampment a short distance from home. My Grandma had very close ties with the people who lived there. The Roma treated my Grandma and my family differently to how they treated others in the village.

Linked to the previous, a few years ago, a Roma came to my door. They were peddling the usual trinkets. I live in what was my grandparents' house. The Roma looked at me and suddenly said, "You're one of THE family!" I asked what she meant, and she gave my Grandma's name in explanation. She then said, "You don't want this rubbish", pointing at her basket, "You are one of us!" Apparently, her family had lived at the old encampment, and she told me that my Grandma was accepted as Roma by the community. She believed that my great-grandmother was a full Roma, and my great-grandfather a Welsh man. The latter I knew to be true.

I was young when my Grandma died. I would have loved to have learned about my possible heritage, but I never had the chance to ask.

I had two experiences with them, both in New Jersey. When I was a child, we had a knock on the door. My unsuspecting father opened the door and a whole troupe of Gypsies came flooding in. They spread out all over the house while my parents tried to get them out. We lived in a nice-looking house (which my father built), but we were poor and didn't have anything valuable (the most valuable item was our floor console radio). This was in the 1940's. They eventually left without taking anything, leaving the family shaken. My second experience was in a hospital where I worked. The "Queen" was admitted for some reason to the hospital and the entire troupe camped out in the hospital lobby. It was disruptive but also showed their loyalty.

These people have made their way here to California. I was almost a victim of pic pocketing in a department store. A group of them came in crowded up my space, I thought it was kind of odd and rude to stand this close to me. Pretending to shop and crowding me in all directions to distract me while one of them go through my purse. I instinctively pulled my purse to the front. My daughter watching from a distance knew something didn’t look right, she walked up and pull me away from the crowd. We watched them walked away looking for another victim. It was so strange and obvious. They were almost robotic just floating along to the next mobbing people. They also panhandle on the streets with fake funeral posture scams asking for donation. Also beg on the streets with young children as “props”. I no longer give money to these beggars.

[technomad-]

sadly the only time most people interact with Roma people is when they demand money from you

[mattsam]

90% of thefts at doorsteps in the U.K. (usually targeting elderly people) are perpetrated by ‘gypsies’. 95% of caravan thefts the same. Are the opinions that these behaviours generate really “prejudice”? Or are they adaptive behaviours that help keep us safe?

[rabbitskinner]

A lot of our problems (not all) are brought on by ourselves. We called ourselves Egyptians because that's where we thought we came from. Nothing racist or otherwise about it.. Our language is called "romanes" not romani.

Having traveled in Central Europe I noticed roma peoples plying their craft as pic pockets often working in teams. I love to watch people while sipping coffee and when watch people you see things like this. I found this especially true in Salzburg, Halstat, and Munich.

I dont like how you claim the roma were Labeled vagabonds and criminals in European laws, when they WERE and still ARE vagabonds and criminals. Especially in the balkans.. they have brought no cultural enrichment since the 12th century. Only minor cultural impoverishment, despite being treated as equals legally and culturally they have not integrated or risen above slums

[EatmyStardust]

I live in Central Europe and we all know they come originally from India. It’s well known ffs
