Several newspapers reported that one of the suspects in the death of more than 70 migrants who died in a truck in Austria is a Rrom from Bulgaria.

They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.

The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!
