lol fuck gypsies! all they want is money!! but they dont want to work. they dont want to go to school. and government gives them everything! whole new flats are built for them from the money of the common people who have to go to work every morning. yes these flats are payed from their taxes! but if white man want a new house or flat, he has to work like a slave, pay all taxes and bills.maybe after few years of saving he will be able to buy a small flat. so tell me who the fuck is discriminated

My parter is Hungarian and Roma. (Actually in Hungary, it's Domanje) He was shunned by his village at 13 when they found out he is gay. He has immigrated here (USA) at 17 and is a now a police officer. Having his association with "Gypsy" people severed has affected his life totally. He misses them, but doesn't complain. Sometimes he says "To be in the herd isn't important when the herd is to be slaughtered." Breaks my heart, but in the USA we are all equals who can't imagine this degradation.

If this is a competition for education levels, I am an Oxford Brookes graduate in Communications, Media, Culture and Film Studies. Roma people are great, give them guitars. Guitars for free, for all Roma.

@indian2003 To sum up- I have started from the craps, but did everything I could in order to escape from it. Why do gypsies can't? They only sit and wait for someone to help them??!! Believe me- they deserve the life they live! Have you even meet a gypsy, by the way?

@indian2003 They do receive chance of education, at least in my region... They don't want it, however. They have no desire to learn anything, neither do they want to integrate. My family is not rich one at all. I have spent the whole first grade with two sweaters and two pair of jeans, not having money for breakfast every day... The same repeated up to 7th grade, when I graduated with honors. Now I study at one of the most famous high schools in my country.

@TheTollundWoman What's more- you can't imagine what's the situation recently. The truth is that I am the discriminated one in my own country. In my town Roma population spreads more and more ( 14 years old tend to start giving birth and to 20 years- they already have 3 children). I am affraid to pass on the main street alone, even when it isn't dark... There always has Roma boys or girls looking as if they treaten you and it is very common to receive a nasty sexual offer...

@TheTollundWoman I have studied with gypsies. There was a program at my school trying to integrate the Roma children. Believe me, there was no racism, no humiliation towards them. We tried everything- to talk with them, play with them and so on, but they remained the same. Roma children have no desire to study and no interests. Teachers treated us equal , but they weren't able even to learn to write, as I said- NO DESIRE FOR ANYTHING!

if you check out the stats the roma cause more problems than anybody else in slovakia. they are responsible for over half the crime in slovakia, even though the roma are about 10% of the population.
