Every time someone does a "lmao, look at Europeans being racist to Roma" post it turns into an unironic Roma hate circlejerk. I've never seen someone on reddit put forward a narrative that attempts to make Roma sympathetic. It's always "it's their culture!"
Yeah posts like this are mostly just Americans coping with being called racist. They don’t actually care about the minorities, they just want to drag down Europeans with them
wait until i tell you about that time i saw one on a bicycle he couldve totally stolen.
Europe: Turns “Gypsy Hunting/Trophy Collecting” into a sport, collaborated with Nazis to wipe them out, Did virtually nothing for survivors
Also Europe: Why don’t they assimilate?
I realize that “Europe” isn’t a single actor but that seems to be a constant West to East.
Always here this thing about gypsies. Never encountered it in real life. What European country are we talking about here?
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.
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.
"Gypsy" is a slur btw.
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.
I've always interpreted this as how the person (European in this case) feels when doing the action described in the meme. The fact that the image used is always comically muscular reinforces how silly the action taken by the person in the meme is.
Americans ! , somewhere in the Future , far from the NOW , you will be humbled and entdignifited enoght by the Dystopia , to go "Hey maybe we should have listen to europe for once .... "
