      PSA: for amerikkkans to bully europoors more effectively online, know your target. Western europeans rarely hate Romani, if they've even heard the term — eastern Europeans hate :romani:. The western Europeans hate Muslims. :eu-cool:

      (And the serbs hate the croats hate the bosnians who hate the serbs who hate the bosnians who hate the moldovians... But they all hate the westerners)

        In my experience, plenty of Western Europeans also frown on Roma, though it's usually not as rabid as in Eastern Europe.

          Yeah, in Northern Europe they are also widely disliked but its not quite on the level of "calling for an open genocide"

          I have heard people in actual real life express the opinion that [CW: Horrible Racism]

          Somali and black, brown and Muslim immigration in general has made them appreciate Finnish Romani more. They might be lazy inveterate thieves, but at least they're OUR lazy inveterate thieves!

          yeah but a western european liberal knows better to openly claim to hate Roma. They'll support the police beating them etc but they won't say "I hate Roma" and if asked will probably claim to be more tolerant than they are

            Basically everyone will start telling you some family legend about how a Romani stole their great grandfather's horse or whatever when you broach the topic of the Romani

                I think I have heard several stories of how some guy who's like a plumber went to do work on a Romani's apartment noticed it was absolutely filled with clearly stolen wallets

                OR how the big floor length skirt of a traditional Finnish Romani woman's dress has giant pockets hidden in it, specifically to aid in thieving and shoplifting

                There's A LOT

                  The denial of women's rights to clothing with pockets is getting absurd

            It sort of reminds me of Northern vs Southern racism in the US.

        Western europeans rarely hate Romani

        This is not true. Mention Roma in the UK or Ireland and everyone turns into a racist, even so-called left wing labour supporters.

        Americans would hate the Romani but they think they're fictional characters, like Paul Bunyan.
