Are those travelers you speak of are Irish? Do you have a link to them? I never heard of them...
No,but come visit me in Doncaster,I can introduce you to these so called ethnic minorities...
I know more about Irish travelers and they are not guests, they are as indigenous as I am.
Not in England they're not !
Still host countries as they are still foreign, not assimilating/adapting, not integrating in the end.
Most of the "Romany" people did slide into filling a gap in British culture and many many of them are well integrated in wider British society.

article in Spiegel about a gypsy village in Hungary...still speaking an outlandish language
What, Magyar?
Have any of you actually talked to any Roma?
Yes.
Visited them at home?
Yes.
Eaten at their table (not WITH them though, because that would defile them ritually)?
Rubbish. Some just have different ideas of food preparation similar but different to the way observing Jews store and prepare food....
but the main problem is that they don't come over in most European towns as cultured people, living from singing and dancing and circussing or whatever.
Untill Romanias borders opened this was EXACTLY how they were seen in Paris....how do you square dancing singing and performing as not cultered though????If that was your meaning..
