I'm afraid quoting it will hit slur filters but the open sentence is just so brainworms

Yesterday I saw the typical gypsy/Romanian female looking pan handler on route 29, nothing new.

    My hitler-detector broke reading that thread.

    But extra funny that there's people in that thread saying "actually the correct term is Roma" then continue on with racist comments. Gotta love libs, they'll put you in the camp but at least they'll use the right word for your group as they do it.

      Sort of the lib equivalent of when conservatives will call for thinly veiled ethnic cleansing but then censor the curse words because, hey, God is watching.

      I’m half convinced that it’s a bunch of people who are offended that the OP dared to confuse the Roma with Romanians.

    All the comments calling out his racism were downvoted into oblivion. All local subreddit users get the mine shaft.

      Pretty much all local subreddits get captured by reactionaries eventually. Whether by local companies and chambers of commerce or by organized rightwing networks. This phenomenon is well-documented.
