Maxtor Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's as daft as asking 'What are Jews like on the whole' or 'What are blacks like on the whole'. :hihi: Ill give you your dues. You do keep em biting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Racists also say similar things about Jews or blacks or Pakistanis. Your comment is as depressing as it is foolish. Yes but that doesn't mean it is untrue that the bad reputation the Roma have is well deserved does it? Are you saying it isn't well deserved? Just about anyone who comes into contact with them seems to form the same opinion. That's as daft as asking 'What are Jews like on the whole' or 'What are blacks like on the whole'. Easy to live alongside... Unlike the Roma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not everyone who knows Roma dislikes them. Easy to live alongside... Unlike the Roma. Fan of sweeping generalisations much?

You know what Halibut, if you were a gazelle you'd be the one trying to pursuade the others to give the approaching pride of lions the benefits of the doubt... "we shouldn't make sweeping generalisations. They're not all bad! They might be veggies for all we know!!" There's a list here of Roma and other gypsy peoples who have achieved success in a variety of fields. http://www.imninalu.net/famousGypsies.htm Great comfort to the people of Page Hall.

Mr Gobby Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Unfortunately when threads like this start they eventually become a witch-hunt. Before Roma came, we have and still do have a select few who think it's Ok to get by and not work ,scrounge of the state and think the world owes them a living that you and I fund . You just car'nt tar everyone with the same brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Macbeth Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Unfortunately the last (easy to understand) message I left on this thread seems to have bypassed some posters.
