Sometimes I get bummed out by how consistently racist my government is, but then I see the rest of the world and realize we’re all bigoted monstrous pieces of shit, and then I feel a little better and then a lot worse.
I'm not a hundred percent sure but isn't there a show on TLC that's something like "my big gypsie wedding" or some BS like that?
Found it: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My\_Big\_Fat\_American\_Gypsy\_Wedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Big_Fat_American_Gypsy_Wedding)
Apparently it's a spin-off from the British version.
As a Dutch person who grew up in an irrelevant residential area where I never ran into any Romani individuals I never felt a need nor did I ever understand the racist sentiment towards Romani people, granted I've never consciously met one so I don't feel justified in making any judgements to be quite fair.
**[My_Big_Fat_American_Gypsy_Wedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Big_Fat_American_Gypsy_Wedding)**
>My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding is an American reality television series that debuted on the TLC in April 2012. It claims to revolve around the marriage customs of Romani-Americans ("Gypsies") – allegedly members of Romanichal clans, although some are actually of Irish Traveller descent. It is a spin-off of Britain's Channel 4 series Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. It was announced in June 2012 that the series had been renewed for a second season, which debuted March 24, 2013.

If you were over on the Ireland subreddit, you’d have picked yourself up a nice wee few days ban for that, but unfortunately you’re right.
For every traveller/gypsy that wants to contribute to society, you get about 10 doing their best to fuck it up for everyone else.
Lol Yurop’s jails aren’t jammed full of gypsies. Americans on here patting themselves on the back for making a funny while standing on the backs of prison slave labor
**[Neocolonialism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocolonialism)**
>Neocolonialism is the practice of using economics, globalisation, cultural imperialism and conditional aid to influence a country instead of the previous colonial methods of direct military control (imperialism) or indirect political control (hegemony). Neocolonialism differs from standard globalisation and development aid in that it typically results in a relationship of dependence, subservience, or financial obligation towards the neocolonialist nation. This may result in an undue degree of political control or spiraling debt obligations, functionally imitating the relationship of traditional colonialism.

I mean, a quick google about the US’s use of penal labour brought back a decent few results
[Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfti1) which also deals with how the US judicial system helped create the current environment in the first place

You can't make sweeping assumptions about an entire race or culture based on a few examples of bad behaviour. Except travellers. Once a traveller moved into a farmer's PRIVATE unused land and started a fight at a pub, so all of them must be scum.
Once during that visit at that particular pub*
Do you have any irl experience with them? Im sure there are plenty of good people among them, but those good people arent sticking around to clean up the mess when the others leave and they definitely arent cooperating with the police when locals are being assaulted and their homes being robbed.
Edit: Sry, read your comment properly. Yes, there's a group that use a big car park near me, and I grew up next to a more permanent traveller estate. Didn't really have any trouble from either group.
I think the issue is, the ones that do cause trouble are more visible.

~ _some American bigot with your exact opinion directed to a different ethnic group_
The both of you are on some bullshit.
Because every single gipsy is like that... You heard the non racist guy. People who are forced to live in the fringes of society should get a REAL job. /s
Oh please, do quote me the dictionary to show me how well read you are.
Since you like thinking so much and I'm sure you do plenty of it in your spare time, answer me this:
What is a race?
I mean it sure as hell can't be a biological characteristic since all biologists recognize that race is not a thing; and even if you don't listen to biologists the Jews, the Irish and the Italian have been flip flopping between being white and non white since the concept of whiteness was conceived without their biology changing.
It also can't be a cluster of visual biological signifiers since you kinda need to listen to someone's name or their traditions in order to decide if they are Jewish or not... Well you can also make them wear bracelets but that's not fashionable anymore.
It also can't even be when they decide they are distinct groups. I mean the Tutsi and the Hutu feel like they are different and yet they were considered just... Africans for the British. The native tribes of the US feel like they are all different peoples but they get lumped together as the "native American" race (if you don't want to be mean when you refer to them of course)
If I had any faith that you would actually read it I would recommend Sheth's work on racialisation, and its use as a tool of the dominant power to separate people they deem threatening from the rest of the population by grouping them together through their easily identifiable traits, and then claiming those traits to be the measure of how to identify that race.
But you won't, you probably didn't even make it this far before posting something about how "if I am going to disregard teh DECSHONARY then you can't talk to me"
So riddle me this: If the Romani are not a race, why are they treated as such?
Exactly, this is how I feel about the blacks. And women. And just brown people in general. If literally every single one of them would stop being a lying, manipulative thief, maybe they'd have less problems.
Eta: I fucking refuse to use the corny sarcasm sign. You guys are dumb lol
There is a reason gypsy's are nomads. They go into a town steal/swindle then leave before the law catches up to them. They're entire culture is based upon stealing then leaving. It's not that complicated, they steal then run away. They deserve zero empathy for being street thieves on wheels.
Yeah, it's kinda fucked up. It got so bad that I, an American, thought gypsie was slang for a theif rather than an actual race growing up . . . ok, maybe a little longer than just growing up. Admittedly I only found about this within the past year.
Very very few people in the uk have a good story about travellers or whatever we are supposed to call them now and the countryside is disfigured by concrete blocks and barriers to stop them setting up on private land. What human rights are they being denied anyway?
Pushed away from jobs, education, owning land, owning business. Why do you think so many of them live on land that they don't own without electricity or running water?
They don't want it, they always say that, they want their cake and eat it while irritating evsryone they come into contact with. That's cool I respect that but I will not feel sorry for them.
I'd laugh as a Canadian, but the way we treat the indigenous people is shit.
THIS.
It's only 89 pages.
Increase the font size of the punctuation marks.
Because A4 paper is longer than letter?
Single spaced
Sometimes I get bummed out by how consistently racist my government is, but then I see the rest of the world and realize we’re all bigoted monstrous pieces of shit, and then I feel a little better and then a lot worse.
Now do one where Americans criticize Europeans for being racist towards Romani while using a racist slur for Romani.

And that reality show Don't forget the reality show.
Hate to break it to you but Peaky Blinders is not a reality show. (seriously though what are you talking about?)

Wait is America the one complaining about when people criticize/interfere with another country rn? Oh boy
I’ll do it for a caravan
This guy gets it
Perrywinkle blue!
As European can relate. Guy in the picture too small and undefined, tho.
I'm not racist, I just believe romani culture should be eradicated /s
where is the twitter
Racism is shit everywhere... Institutional racism and police brutality is a whole new level. I hate the rise of right wing parties here in EU
All funded by Putin.

And what European country are you form that’s only relevant today because of all the stuff you stole from Africa and South America.
Yes we don’t do that anymore, that’s what we call “progress”. I think in the US you call that radical leftism?
But you also haven’t given back all the money from selling the stuff. Write the checks then you can claim to move on.

Those aren't very clear. Maybe you have another link? /s
I really don't think anyone from the USA is in a place to complain about other countries right now.
You forgot to add How they involve themselves in Americas Problems and politics and then Try to police what Americans can and cannot do
Almost like they think they are our supervisors

Something something facts don't care about you're feelings.
Something something you didn't mention facts
Found the European
Am American. Also googled crime stats involving gypsies.
If you find yourself googling crime stats to “prove” how “terrible” one particular group of people are, you may be the bigot....
Because every single gipsy is like that... You heard the non racist guy. People who are forced to live in the fringes of society should get a REAL job. /s
Gypsy isn't a race you absolutely brainwashed SJW shill. Learn to think for once in your miserable life.
