In Slovakia, they are often excluded from mainstream schools, which means their educational attainment is very low and their prospects are therefore very low. Almost none get to go to university. Ghettoising people will always lead to them behaving differently to the society they are ghettoised from - that doesn't mean it's ok for people to then bring that behaviour with them when they do move into general society - it isn't ok, it's wrong. People are adaptable though, and the Roma people that you and I know who just get on with their lives in an ordinary way, while keeping aspects of their culture, are evidence of that. That's why I challenged you on your comment about a 'group', but I see that you recognise that that wasn't accurate or fair 👍 Group, bunch, crew, lot, who cares what the noun is.

Surely you can see the danger of using 'group' when people are discussing people of a particular ethnicity. Especially in a thread started by someone whose specialism is threads about crimes by non-white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, political or football allegiance is of no consequence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get the rioters to help clean up- most are captured on video. If the government had balls. Or leave them to live in the conditions they caused- some might feel more 'at home'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farage should look closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
