It's a mix of good and bad. Recently a bill was also approved that punishes people for basically hate speech against gypsies. But at the same time, communist parties are illegal.
Good luck locking up 95% of the country.
@ChristiJunior @waltercool
I think gypsies are over 10% of the country, so you'd lock up only about 85% probably.
@ChristiJunior @waltercool
Looking up the numbers now... apparently gypsies are 3%... I wonder why I had that 10% number in my head then...
@ChristiJunior @waltercool
I wouldn't guarantee the siblings part, but from my experience growing up, there were definitely a lot of kids during school/uni that you could say were more brown, but from their behavior, how they talked, dressed etc. you wouldn't be able to think they were anything other than Romanian.
Romanians is general seem pretty laidback for all their superficial "bigotry" - they generally don't support gay marriage for example, but they also don't fanatically oppose it, and weren't interested in validating PSD's demagogic use of the gay marriage ban referendum.
@ChristiJunior @waltercool
Thing is, PSD didn't really give a crap about the referendum either. What happened was, that a religious non-profit, gathered signatures from the population to change the constitution to oppose gay marriage. And if someone gathers enough of them, they can force the government to hold an official referendum (it's in the constitution I believe). PSD happened to be in power at that time, but they didn't promote the referendum that much. I suspect they might have actually opposed the initiative, but at the same time didn't have the guts to do it openly, as to maintain their image.
As for Nicoliță, he was loved by the entire country. He was a good football player, and always gave it his all. It was of course widely known he was gypsy, but no one cared one bit as far as I can tell. Not sure if he's still playing. I don't follow sports much.
@waltercool @ChristiJunior
The thing with Romani is that they are culturally a migratory people. Meaning their traditional cultural values are not about integrating with the lands they pass through. They basically isolate themselves within their communities. Which leads to the type of integration problems the West is seeing now with Muslims that came in recently.
While I wouldn't call this culture of theirs wrong per say, it is indeed incompatible with the culture of the lands Romani currently live in.
@alyx @ChristiJunior Well, being Romani isn’t a bad thing, but the numbers about how “dangerous” are Romani ppl is there.
I always thought Romani ppl were bad at my country, but few years ago I got known the same perception happens at many countries. So, there might be something wrong at their culture lifestyle.
Wrong in the way like the East think the West is too egoist and individualists, and the West thinks the East is too authoritarian and against minorities. Cultural difference.
