    The thing people who disagree with should die: “Maybe let’s not be literal genociding facists.”

      Try posting “Maybe let’s not be literal genociding fascists.” in any city sub discussing homeless people or r/europe discussing roma.

        From the stories I’ve heard about Roma, they’ve worked very hard to be so disliked.

          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.

                  Or treatment of indigenous people. “We need to take their children away so they can be educated in a safe environment (and not grow up like that)” is not uncommon.

                  Encouraging people to take away a group’s children for the purpose of destroying that group is a violation of the Genocide Convention btw.

                    It gets easier of course when they don’t focus on the racial aspect but instead pick some other factor: we need to steal their children because they are poor, these children deserve better!

              I’ve been bullied by a Roma student. Yet I don’t blame the entire ethnic group because one Roma person bullied me, you racist donkey.

            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 statisticians.
