Honestly, I'd go as far as to equate the Roma and other 'Gypsies' as the European equivalent of African Americans.

[QUOTE=Swilly;38185948]Honestly, I'd go as far as to equate the Roma and other 'Gypsies' as the European equivalent of African Americans.[/QUOTE] I don't think so. I mean sure, they'd be cheap on the slave market, but Gypsies would make terrible slaves because of their work ethic.
[QUOTE=En Ex;38182444]Are you all fucking kidding me? Hitler murdered hundreds of thousands of Gypsies (Roma and Sinti) in a similar way to how the Jews and other groups were targeted.

i like how in the previous threads when i'd say people shouldn't hate gypsies people would en-masse say "IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU'D KNOW WHAT I WAS FEELING, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE". because we needed to live in germany to know that the nuremberg laws were wrong :rolleyes:

Why do you people hate Gypsies so much? My ancestors in Bohemia were Roma and they fled to the U.S.A. because of the prejudice against them.

Forgive my possible ignorance, but I was always under the impression that the term "Gypsy" refers to a lifestyle choice as opposed to an actual race of people. Now I can see how their discrimination was most likely based on their dark skinned appearance in Nazi Germany(which was unjustified), but if their current bad reputation is a result of their lifestyle, how is it racism?(granted claiming they deserve to be on the receiving end of genocide is pretty harsh for any group of people.)

[QUOTE=J!NX;38187273]wow first few posts are made of literal sewage not a record but wow... you guys... your fucking dumb, you are.[/QUOTE] Let me put it this way... You buy something nice for yourself, say, a bike. An expensive bike. You ride it a lot and you really love it and take good care of it. One day, you park and lock it somewhere and leave it there for a little time. When you get back, theres no bike to be found, and the lock has been broken and left behind. You report it to the cops, but all they can do is get the details about what happened and nothing else. Months later, you pass by someone and you see him riding your bike. You call the cops, and you go with them to their house. You demand it back, giving the little bits of proof you have about it, and a few members of the family the guy belonged to start shouting at you, calling you a fucking liar and demanding receipts. You ask them for proof that the bike is theirs, and they give some obvious bullshit excuse and story how they bought it somewhere. Little while later, you're knee deep in death threats with the cops pushing back a heap load of people who want to beat the shit out of you. All that because you wanted back what was rightfully yours. And thats not all. I think I don't really have to mention the drug business behind them, do I? It's true, they aren't all like that. Except the ones that aren't are so increadibly rare that aren't even viewed as such people. It becomes a rule of thumb. You do NOT mess with a gypsy in ANY way, or you're almost guaranteed to have something missing.
really... you hate gypsies because one stole your bike that's pretty pathetic dude like a murder or a rape i could understand, but a bike lol this is hilarious because it's so bizarre, i wonder if Mladic had his bike stolen by a bosniac

[editline]25th October 2012[/editline] either say something of substance or leave tia[/QUOTE] I don't think I replied to you, mainly because you said nothing worth mentioning and of no substance either. But I'll reply to this... It is a lifestyle choice. Nobody is making them deal drugs. Nobody is forcing them to live in a shithole of a hut. Nobody is forcing them to steal stuff. Nobody is forcing them to kill anyone. "But they are discriminated!" Guess what? They aren't the only imigrants in the country, yet, they are the ones with the worst reputation by a mile. Another fun fact: most of them have no jobs whatsoever and they still get government paychecks per kid. Don't you think theres a reason why nobody gives them jobs? I'm certain that they weren't set aside as soon as they got here, and that they actually dug their own hole. You wouldn't say anything like that if you lived around these parts. You can't ride a bike or walk along the roads occupied by their houses because you're bound to get a visit from a few. You sometimes can't even pass by in a car because they'll throw rocks at you. Hell, you can't even put reflecting marks on the road without having them completely broken by them. Non-gypsies do steal. Thing is, they don't hold a candle to a single gypsy.
