Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]

Yes, It does and most people associate Romania with Romani gypsies. Whenever I mention to enquiring strangers, they always seem so shocked that I am not a gypsy and I find that most Romanians feel the same. I even had a polish guy attack and sneer at my boyfriend as he is with "a gypsy".

Obviously I know the real history of gypsies, they simply settled in my country but alot of people dont know that and they tar us all with the same brush. Most Romanians in other countries are Roma gypsies anyway, very few are just ordinary people like myself.

Life / Gypsies or Roma: European and Polish attitudes towards [87]

Im a Romanian girl in Ireland, been living here almost all my life and although I am proud of being quite open minded, Gypsies can all go to hell!! They put out a bad name of my country and steal, lie and corrupt everything they touch! They are sneaky greedy uneducated people. From looking at them, you could never guess what a beautiful and unique place my homeland is, it is NOT swarming with this scum (mainly bescuse out goverment threw them out and they came here) :(
