For all I know, Romanians don't have problems with Mexicans. Probably a US kid doing the common internet thing known as "edgelord" using a Vlad Tepes avatar.I ve seen that but I thought it was some kind of cultural apropiation, his photo and his stand on some kind of alternative history seemed very familiar. This is the type of nationalist romanian that bothers me, most of us aren't that way.
Other than that, the Romanians seem a decent people. There was an immigration influx of them and Ukrainians and russians by the 2000's to Portugal.
Most of them were good people, The professional beggar gipsies were a problem, because they used kids to beg and they didn't want to work properly, just beg. Some stayed after the 09 crisis. Good fellas.
As for the romani population, the widely spread and accepted racism in Romania didn t help. They have the same begging practices in Romania but we didn't do much to help them, I could say that we pushed in the state that they find themselves in.
That same kind of bigotry exists in Ireland towards the Romani there - they're called 'Travelers' or 'Tinkers' (and less nicely, 'pikies'). My father would routinely hire five or six Traveler families to help out on the farm during the spring lambing. Oddly enough, we had more trouble with the neighbours and the local authorities than we did with the Travelers.
I clearly remember Da having it out with a local cop who advised him that he shouldn't house the Romani on the farm. Da's response was that no fat-arsed, chair warming, double-time for overtime, gobshite with a badge what going to tell him what to do on his bloody farm with his bloody money and his bloody sheep.
