Eh, maybe it's just my part of the country, but in INGERLUND people hate on muslims wayyyyy more often than gypsies. Can't remember the last time I heard someone in real life ragging on gypsies.
A nicer term is "Travellers" or "Travelling People".
Some people use "Roma", but the Roma are an ethnic group and there are a lot of Roma who aren't travellers and a good few travellers who aren't Roma, especially in the British isles.
Wait, I though Travellers were specifically an Irish group, Irish people that in a feat of convergent cultural evolution developed a lot of the same itinerant practices Roma engage in.
Always here this thing about gypsies. Never encountered it in real life. What European country are we talking about here?
France, Germany, UK and especially Eastern Europe.
You're forgetting the most extreme country, Italy. Pretty sure Italian people have the lowest opinion of the Romas in all of Europe.
definitely romania. their most googled "how do i" thing is "how do i avoid roma?"
Oh yeah I kinda forgot Romania. If you REALLY wanna piss them off, just confuse the words Roma and Romanian. They absolutely flip if you do it online.
Bulgaria and Romania are terrible too
I counted them as Eastern Europe

"Gypsy" is a slur btw.
