I've said before that I have biases against Gypsies and I won't deny it, even though my girlfriend is part Gypsy - It's hard not to when you don't have a single positive experience with said group.
Right, but in the article like Ben quoted, we should be surprised that most Romanians come to work?
Well, sure, maybe. But I don't think anyone seriously ever says "all Romanians are thieves and scumbags who don't come to work". It isn't the respectable ones that form the stereotypes.
