    Is it a case of race or culture?

    First there are other possibilities of which economic is certain to be related. Second "culture" is probably too broad of a term since there can be "culture" groupings yet which other unmeasured factors have an impact. Third race has nothing to do with it.

    I agree nostly. I dont think ecconomics is related. Theives, muggers and so on are prepared to break the rules of society to get what they want instead of working for it. Thats attitude, not ecconomics. It comes dwn to culture, to role models, to programming IMO.

      It can't be racist, they're not a race. It could be a discriminating generalization - maybe some of them do wash themselves? But who gives a shit. They're not just complaining or protesting. They're going way overboard with their threats and bawwing. At nearly every budget cut this year, the affected party has complained and protested. None* of them have threatened to step to the european court for human rights. Especially not over something that is essentially the opposite of discrimination. * The gypsies haven't either, because they did it in reaction to something that wasn't a budget cut.

      Provide examples of other groups that have had special treatment and which did not also protest in various ways when that treatment was removed or was attempted to be removed.

        Look mate, it's supposed to be offensive. You can label it "racist" if you like - I don't really care, it's just that I like calling it what it is, and it ain't racism. I can give you some racism too, if you'd like.

        I refuse. That would be an entirely pointless exercise. My point was never that they should quietly accept everything, though that would be nice too. They do, however, have to accept it. It's the law. They don't get to bawww about "human rights" when 1) they aren't even human, and 2) their human rights, supposing they deserve them, are not being threatened. And yes, that was offensive again, boohoo.

          I here you but it's discrimination from the broader community that makes these people exist the way they do.

          There is your mistake, you assume that the society doesn’t wants to integrate them but it’s the vice-versa. Most of the countries with a significant gipsy population have tried to integrate them at least partially during the years without even a partial success. We are not talking of isolated case or particular country or even a continent. They WANT their way of life, which would be okay if their way of life wasn’t consists of not working, stealing, polluting, making a lot of children which they neither are able to support nor care. Just a few weeks ago in my country they run over a young boy with a cargo van for the only reason they haven’t liked him and he’s been a Bulgarian dare to walk in a gipsy ghetto. They have ran over him a few times, just to be on the save side. During the communism when I was in the middle school the education was mandatory(and this was enforced) for everybody. Even then in the whole school we had only one gipsy boy. The reason for him been there? The poor kid had serious heart disease, so his parents decided he is useless and will die soon anyway and allow him to school. Do I think they are evil people? No of course they aren’t. Do I hate them? No I don’t although in some cases they disgust me. But I’m scared from the fact that such a people regarding the forecasts will be the majority of the population in my country (this will be the end of it of course) after only 30 years. As I said they double their population every 10 years if they receive welfare and have what to steal (which is the case from 1945).

          And your mistake is not in understanding history and even current events in terms of how "racist" might be applied. Everything you are saying is used by many, many other people to rationalize their own specific prejudice. Myself I make a broad allowance for the beliefs of people but take exception when they attempt to 'prove' that their belief is more than just a personal opinion. Own your prejudice as a personal choice or give it up. Your 'evidence' is not and never will be more than a vain attempt at rationalization.

          Which is obvious nonsense. Based on that model one can just as easily demonstrate that at some time in the future they will mass more than the entire earth. It completely ignores the very, very complex nature of human relationships and the very, very complex nature of human cultures. For that matter it uses a model that applies to almost nothing in the real world much less people and culture.

            No he is not a racist (at least on this subject). I understand your sentiments and they are normal for a decent guy from a country with a very little or none Gypsy population. I would react the same way if you didn’t know better. Nearly 90% of the street crimes on my country are committed from the 7% Gypsy population. Nobody can forced them to send their kids to School. There is some small part of them who are normal hard working people from a Gypsy origin, but at least in my country nobody call them Gypsy and they don’t consider themselves as such. They also tends to double their numbers every 20 or so years while living on welfare and stealing, which is scary. And don’t let me start with the smelly ghettos they create every ware, old people killed for their pensions etc. Just a resent case, from a few months ago. In order to clean one ghetto the government has given to the inhabitants an bright new 9 stories apartment building some years ago…for free! No rent, no payments nothing, they usually don’t pay their electricity, heating and water bills as well. After a few years of them being there the building is about to collapse. Horses in the apartments, all wooden parts of the building (beams, hardwood floors, ) burned in the stoves, fires on the floor, steel bindings stoled and sold etc. After the inspectors alarmed that it’s dangerous for people to live there the police is send to remove the inhabitance. They not only refuses but in a protest start to destroy the building concrete pillars with a sledgehammers…don’t taking under account that they are IN the building. The police finally stops them but not before a 7 yo girl is flattened under the concrete.

              I might point out that he is not basing his opinion upon a prejudice. Prejudice means to pre-judge before any evidence. The societal behavior of the people he speaks about provides plenty of evidence for him to go by.

                        I’ve never said I don’t have prejudice or I’m not biased. Exactly the opposite – I’m very biased on the subject. And I was trying to explain why it’s so using facts and personal experience, not a hollow theory. And I fail to see what is so wrong, that I want a big group of people (who define themselves as a distinct group very aggressively) to start obey the law, be responsible for their children and if it’s possible(this not mandatory) to start taking a shower once in a while and to learn the language of the country in which they are born. If they start doing this I’ll be really, really happy. And I don’t want them to change their way of life, just this few things. And as I said there are gipsys who are honest, hardworking people but neither me nor most of my friends are referring to them as a “gipsy” only because of their skin color. In fact in my language “gipsy” mostly refers to a way of life and value system, rather than a particular race.

                          But it's anecdotal. You need a carefully designed scientific study, preferably a double-blind experiment with a control group and everything. What you see every day with your own eyes doesn't count for anything. [/sarcasm]

                                I’ve never said I don’t have prejudice or I’m not biased. Exactly the opposite – I’m very biased on the subject. And I was trying to explain why it’s so using facts and personal experience, not a hollow theory. And I fail to see what is so wrong, that I want a big group of people (who define themselves as a distinct group very aggressively) to start obey the law, be responsible for their children and if it’s possible(this not mandatory) to start taking a shower once in a while and to learn the language of the country in which they are born. If they start doing this I’ll be really, really happy. And I don’t want them to change their way of life, just this few things. And as I said there are gipsys who are honest, hardworking people but neither me nor most of my friends are referring to them as a “gipsy” only because of their skin color. In fact in my language “gipsy” mostly refers to a way of life and value system, rather than a particular race.

                                You are trying to rationalize it based on something that you call "facts".

                                A personal opinion is not a theory. I like oatmeal raisin cookies. That isn't a theory. I don't need to prove it with "facts" and there is no way that anyone can provide evidence that would contradict that. On the other hand it would be ridiculous for me to try to prove with "facts" that that cookie is the 'best' cookie. Attempting to do that would be a rationalization on my part.

                                I see nothing wrong with my desire that 99 out of 100 people should be sterilized at birth so they could never have children. Doing that for between 30 to 100 years would solve a vast number of problems in the world. However I am rather certain that there are quite a few people that would object to my personal preferences.

                                How nice for you that others should change their lives to make you happy. And what are you willing to give up to make others happy? How about this...you agree that you will give those people who change 50% of your income for the rest of your life. I suspect that you could probably get say 5 or maybe even 10 people to change in the way that you want for that extra stipend that you would be giving to them.

                                      There are any number of attributes used to group humans which are used then to denigrate the group and by association individuals in that group. And that has occurred throughout history: Jews, Irish, Japanese, Catholics, Harijans, homosexuals, mentally retarded, etc. In general common usage these days the word "racist" is used to apply to that negative pejorative grouping. If you you have another term which is in the common vernacular and means the same thing I would like to know what it is.

                                        But it's anecdotal. You need a carefully designed scientific study, preferably a double-blind experiment with a control group and everything. What you see every day with your own eyes doesn't count for anything. [/sarcasm]

                                        So true. Because everyone knows that astrology and homeopathy works. Not to mention the curative effects of bear bile, tiger penis and rhinoceros horn. And why are pyramid schemes illegal? Must be a conspiracy to keep poor people from getting rich.

                                          So they speak a different language, they originated from the Indian Subcontinent but that doesn't make them a race of people!? It's always funny and pathetic listening to people justify to themselves that they're not racist. In this case it was just a blatant racist attack on a group of people who are different. So if discriminating against people who are different it's racist. What is racism?
