[theonlyalphaprincess]

[ninkatar]

that was my favourite song

[Covermansion]

We love this, and feature it as today's cover.

[alexblooduk]

@eljaysmith hey. this video is intended to highlight the comedy within a stereotype. in the same way that borat does is borat racist?. Its not intended to offend anyone, so im sorry if you are offended. I agree with you, most real gypsies are good people living peacefully and freely, and who have my respect for living outside the system.

Stereo types are used in comedy all the time and have been since man invented telling jokes.

[eljaysmith]

@alexblooduk thats all goood thanks for clearing it up i just get offend as a lot people do think its ok to be racist to the gypsy community and it pisses me off as I am a second generation gypsy

[TomaCukor]

@alexblooduk borat can be racist , just becuz its mass media doesnt mean it doesnt hurt people ...

[alexblooduk]

@TomaCukor fair point

[psynt555]

ahahaha

[eljaysmith]

This some racist bullshit, makes me laugh how racism to travellers seem to be acceptable somehow fuck you!

[dwightschrute70]

@eljaysmith its not racist if its factually correct.

[alexblooduk]

@dwightschrute70 its not factually correct. its a characterization of a stereotype.

[tylernccdirect]

@eljaysmith its not racist because gypsies arent a race ;)

[TomaCukor]

@tylernccdirect nah theyre a plague

[wtfisgoinon527]

mmm gypsies are thieves dont trust them.......nice message

[claypiesexygod]

@wtfisgoinon527 read the description you nonce!

[wtfisgoinon527]

@claypiesexygod

lol @ disclaimers. Yeah if i make a racist song and then stick a disclaimer on its ok right? 

[claypiesexygod]

@wtfisgoinon527 Dont be a mardy cunt. Its making fun of a stereotype. Loads of times its been done on racist stereotypes. Enjoy if for what it is or dont watch it:)

[alexblooduk]

@wtfisgoinon527 not all gypsies are thieves. but the stereotype lends itself to comedy, i guess thats why brad pitt was so funny in snatch. remember, when you generalise, their "general lies" as dr coca cola mcdonald would say.

[wtfisgoinon527]

@alexblooduk

Its just that gypsies are an accepted target for society.....one of those groups that it is not politically incorrect to publically attack......not that im saying your song was an attack just not altogether helpful. The future of UK hip hop is in positivity

[alexblooduk]

@wtfisgoinon527 its a fair point you make. my song could be suggesting that all gypsies are thieves, the same way that "the only gay in the village" on Little Britain suggests that all homosexuals are pink latex wearing perverted raging queens. or the same way that Felix Dexter portrays his african traffic warden character, suggesting that all africans are pedantic jobs worths and traffic wardens. stereotypes are used in humour all day every day. good point to debate tho. where is line?

[wtfisgoinon527]

@alexblooduk

mm i know i went over the top in condemnation but then this is youtube ;) but yes its a decision as to whether propagating stereotypes is damaging or healthy.....personally i err on the side of damaging but the general view is that it is not.

It only takes a stereotype to catch on and it becomes the image of the victim.......media becomes reality and people manipulate their own in order to correspond with the image portrayed........i mean are gypsies known for anything else?

[alexblooduk]

@wtfisgoinon527 yh ur right about the media and people trying to manipulate their reality to fit the prescribed reality on the screen. definitely feel that. i actually respect gypsies. I would say other things their known for, living freely, independently, autonomously, without contributing to the corporate state. Resourcefulness, self governed etc. They do get a bad rep. As i guess theres the odd gang that trash the land, and threaten people. But mostly their hated by conservative types

[wtfisgoinon527]

mmm gypsies are thieves dont trust them.......nice message

[claypiesexygod]

This is fuckin brilliant mate!! i want to buy you a pint. Im down the road in BOT!!!
