Smart Girl

Published by:

A young Rroma girl made it to the headline for having an IQ higher than Einstein and Hawkins. Good for her!

BUT !!!!

Why did all the papers dwell on her origins? Is it so surprising that there can be smart Rroma? All journalists seem somewhat surprised by this.

“Gypsy Boss” expelled from Denmark

Published by:

A “Gypsy Boss” who became known following a TV documentary was condemned to 15 months in prison and expelled from Denmark.

What is NOT ACCEPTABLE, is that ethnicity is mentioned in such cases. Would one do it with a Jew, or with another minority? Criminals are criminals, and this has no connection to origins or ethnicity.

Warning on modern racism

Published by:

Nils Muižnieks, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights, warned against the modern racism against Rroma while at the commemorations of the Rroma Holocaust. We cannot but agree with him here.

In the article, the term of “Porajmos” is used. This term has often been put in conjunction with the Rroma Holocaust. Actually, it means a sexual rape, and is only understood in some Vlax dialects. This term should not be used at all in this context.

Far Right Posters in Stockholm’s subway

Published by:

A poster campaign by a far right group in the Stockholm’s subway is shocking. It re-iterates the usual stereotypes of forced begging, organised criminality, etc. Outrage was also directed at the subway authorities that allowed these posters to be hung.

SHAME!

Rome: The mayor wars of collapse

Published by:

Following the refugee wave and the roughly 8’000 thousands Rroma in Rome, the mayor is warning of a collapse of social services. He also complains about the fact that they give quite a bit of money for Rroma, but only 20% of Rroma children go to school…

Maybe, they should close the famous camps and cut the subsidies to those who profit from them, and instead work on real integration!

Published by:
