[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42606357]Stupid "Americans" (I.e. everyone who doesn't share your irrational racist hatred) calling out racist posts as racism. When will they [I]ever[/I] learn that it's okay to hate cultures and minorities so long as a lot of people do it. [/QUOTE] Or maybe I just meant, you know, Americans. Stop being uppity, I wasn't taking any sides with that comment.
[QUOTE=acds;42606440]Or maybe I just meant, you know, Americans. Stop being uppity, I wasn't taking any sides with that comment.[/QUOTE] I'm perfectly happy with "Americans" being uppity about racism.
[QUOTE=TCB;42606294]the difference being gypsies aren't being ostracized and executed by fascists for no reason other than a religion it's time to stop thinking you're right[/QUOTE] oh wow
[QUOTE=TCB;42606294]the difference being gypsies aren't being ostracized and executed by fascists for no reason other than a religion it's time to stop thinking you're right[/QUOTE] are you a gypsy
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42604686]Can somebody please explain to me, a stupid uncultured american, what exactly a gypsy is? Are they a separate race or is it what you folks just call your hobos?[/QUOTE] In the UK they are more of a social group (travelers). In the rest of Europe they are a seperate ethnic, most likely stemming from the Indian punjab, but who have been in Europe for centuries now, which have a somewhat "alternative" lifestyle.
[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;42605535]Wow that sounds racist! And how about[/QUOTE]Referencing a stereotype.[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;42605535]How horrible! And let us not forget:[/QUOTE]Taking note of surrounding events, fully admitting it's a personal experience and isn't fact.[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;42605535]Amazing![/QUOTE]Again, pointing out a stereotype. Saying "yeah, I've heard people call them <whatever>" or, "I am aware of this stereotype of this group" doesn't make anyone racist. It's a statement acknowledging they have heard something.
We have a gypsy here who recieved a chemistry award or something Gypsies are either living in shitholes or giant burgeois houses
[QUOTE=acds;42605710] Also these threads in a nutshell: Europeans hate Gypsies, Americans scream racism.[/QUOTE] Well that's because hating Gypsies is super racist. I can see the mistake that people make, that hating a race of people can somehow not be racist, but I looked it up on the ol' wikileaks and it turns out that hating a racial minority is always racist. Huh. [QUOTE=acds;42606440]Or maybe I just meant, you know, Americans. Stop being uppity, I wasn't taking any sides with that comment.[/QUOTE] You should definitely take the non-racist side.
[QUOTE=Hellduck;42606307]lol yes they were [editline]22nd October 2013[/editline] the fact that you didnt even know that tells me youre not really qualified to comment on the issue at all[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=DaysBefore;42606357] This is a hilariously stupid rebuttal mate good fucking work [editline]22nd October 2013[/editline] [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_Holocaust[/URL] Hopefully you know how to read[/QUOTE] I don't even have a dog in this fight, but he quite clearly said "aren't"; not "weren't". [QUOTE=TCB;42606294]the difference being gypsies [B]aren't[/B] being ostracized and executed by fascists for no reason other than a religion it's time to stop thinking you're right[/QUOTE] Please for the love of fuck read the posts you're replying to.
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;42607409]I don't even have a dog in this fight, but he quite clearly said "aren't"; not "weren't". Please for the love of fuck read the posts you're replying to.[/QUOTE] Oh so the Jews are still being executed? Fuck we should do something about that
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;42607567]Oh so the Jews are still being executed? Fuck we should do something about that[/QUOTE] Well then everyone's fucking retarded and this argument is pointless.
[QUOTE=ViralHatred;42605756]Hell around here they've been known to move into a farmers field, the next day have poured concrete and spread it over, then they'll pull human rights and demand that utilities give them telephone lines, sewage and electricity and so on. And they become really [i]really[/i] difficult to evict all while damaging the surrounding area and the town.[/QUOTE] You'd get fucking shot in some of the states for trying that. Not that that's a good thing, but what the fuck.
last time i checked using the word gypsy was racist as fuck
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;42609458]last time i checked using the word gypsy was racist as fuck[/QUOTE] The proper term is Roma. Edit: Or travelers, depending on group.
I remember when I was 5 or 6 some old gypsy women came to ask a cigarette from my father, so my father only had one but he still gave it to her and suddenly the bitch asked me to go behind the car and next moment she somehow paralyzed my father, gypsy took all his cash and ran away. Weird shit.
i thought you were talking about treatment towards gypsies nowadays, i've never heard of any gypsy executions [I]whoops[/I]
It is forced cultures like these that make me wonder how many great minds were wasted on petty theft and insurance scams. Generalizing is never ok, but it's kind of like the "trap" culture among young blacks in america, they don't really have a choice but it doesn't make it ok to an outside viewer.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;42605794]This is literally the same argument used against black people.[/QUOTE] I like how people rate this dumb but then... [QUOTE=frozensoda;42610722]It is forced cultures like these that make me wonder how many great minds were wasted on petty theft and insurance scams.

Weird shit.[/QUOTE] which is more likely there are people with magical powers or you have an active imagination and don't have that reliable of a memory as a child and made shit up
[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42609496]The proper term is Roma. Edit: Or travelers, depending on group.[/QUOTE] Travelers? That term is terrible since the group doesn't come to mind when its used.
[QUOTE=Moustacheman;42604583]Well they definitely stole my fucking pants that one time. Those were good pants, too.[/QUOTE] Eradicate every last one of them, send in the gunships, fuck the cost. We're finding you those fucking pants, end of.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;42610774] you have an active imagination and don't have that reliable of a memory as a child and made shit up[/QUOTE] I ain't making that shit up dude. My dad remembers it aswell, he said that he could understand what was going on, but he could not do anything about it.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42610845]Travelers? That term is terrible since the group doesn't come to mind when its used.[/QUOTE] There's Roma and then there's folks like the Irish Travellers. Two very different set of people.
europe: where being rampantly racist against roma and highly xenophobic against muslims is totally a-okay
[QUOTE=koppel;42610638]I remember when I was 5 or 6 some old gypsy women came to ask a cigarette from my father, so my father only had one but he still gave it to her and suddenly the bitch asked me to go behind the car and next moment she somehow paralyzed my father, gypsy took all his cash and ran away.

Two very different set of people.[/QUOTE] Its weird, the travelers here want Roma grouped with the Irish under the title Traveler yet maintain they are different. They don't mix much either so it makes it even more odd. I think its mostly Irish travelers that people bitch about here but its the 1 family that causes shit when the 20 other families pass through as nice as can be.
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42604686]Can somebody please explain to me, a stupid uncultured american, what exactly a gypsy is? Are they a separate race or is it what you folks just call your hobos?[/QUOTE] "They don't speak English, Scottish, Irish, or Welsh, they speak fuckin' pikey" Doesn't apply directly apply to these gypsies in particular but hopefully it gives you the idea, or just watch Snatch if you haven't already.
My mom used to tell me that a gypsy would steal me if I wasn't behaving
[QUOTE=koppel;42610877]I ain't making that shit up dude. My dad remembers it aswell, he said that he could understand what was going on, but he could not do anything about it.[/QUOTE] There is a pretty good chance your dad was just mugged and gave you that story rather than let you know that his life was potentially in danger. I say this not because I think you or your father is a liar, but because hexes/curses/spells are not real. If people had the ability to freeze people with their mind, I doubt they would only use it to commit petty theft.
[QUOTE=BrickInHead;42611231]europe: where being rampantly racist against roma and highly xenophobic against muslims is totally a-okay[/QUOTE] No it's okay one of them took my friends' cousins' bike we should put them in death camps
Gypsie toast is delicious.
