    I find it disgusting how right-wing newspapers depict gypsies as if they are sub-human. Few politicians have the balls to speak up for them. They get an awful press.

    It annoys me how people in general condemn them despite gaining their knowledge of them from cheap reality shows.

    I've only ever seen them doing bad things, be it in the media or irl. Fighting over drunk people problems outside the pub once a week minimum etc. I'm sure there are plenty of lovely ones but if you're willing to be portrayed stereotypically, prepare to be thought of in a certain way.
