Sorry about that.
Quote:I don't how how true what you wrote is. My girlfriend is 1/4 Gypsi, and as she likes to say "I'm only ethnically gypsi" (it's basically a code for "don't mix me in the same bag as those people - She is really racist against gypsies). Out of all social groups I think gypsies are the most hated in Portugal, much more than blacks, Indians and so on.
I can't tell with much precision how (unskilled) Romanians are treated in the Western Europe. I haven't lived in the West so far. I know that in UK there are political parties who dislike immigrants. I did hear Romanians feeling "unwelcomed" in the West, and the fact that they're sometimes confused with gypsies. Now the cases I know may depend from case to case.
Quote:Out of curiosity, are Romanians ethnically white? I'm asking this because most Romanians I see here are gypsi, but now that you tell me that I'm realizing you guys are probably eastern caucasians.
All Romanian ethnics are white caucasian. Just like Bulgarians, Russians, Hungarians.
Quote:I've had bad experiences with gipsies, but I try to not generalize - Though my prejudice still lingers when a gipsy approaches me on the street ("No I don't have any damn cigarettes!!!")
My prejudice lingers whenever a gypsy approaches me on the street and tries to sell me something - actually, insists. I don't know where he got that thing from, whether it's a coat, or a jacket, or some alcohol, but the thing that always works is to say "I don't have any money!"
