It is difficult.Happening in the UK right now with UKIP. Anyone who votes those fascists in I want nothing to do with.
On-topic, I do have a bad experience with one Romanian family who I lived next door to last year. However, they were trash because they were noisy and trampy as individuals, not because they are from Romania. They weren't even gypsies. I think to judge a whole nationality or ethnic group based on a bad experience is a bit tasteless. I'll be honest though, I can see people frown upon gypsy culture, but then gypsy culture isn't exclusive to Romanians. I've had far worse experience with Irish gypsies than with Romanian gypsies personally (and I say that being part Irish myself).
As far as I know the only truly extremist party in the UK is the BNP (racist and neo-nazi), isn't the UKIP basically the only euro-skeptical party? Because that's a deciding factor for many people
