A conservative Fox News journalist – Tucker Carlson – went totally overboard on his show on the topic of the 40 Romanian Roma immigrants in Pennsylvania. He used comments of the type “”Gypsies” are settled in a small Pennsylvania town… and locals complain of them going to toilet in the street and beheading chickens” and worse ones. In brief, the went into a racist rant.
SHAME

The story of the 40 refugees from Romania in the small town of California in Pennsylvania is creating a frenzy of news in rightist papers.

The mayor of Rome, Virgina Raggi, has set up an office whose aim is to monitor and ensure the closure of the Roma camps – long a promise she made during her election. Several Roma associations are waiting to see what is happening.
According to a recent briefing by the Association July 21, “in the face of a constant presence of Roma in informal settlements in Rome quantified in the last five years at around 2,200 / 2,500 housing units, in the last few months the estimate sank to no more than one thousand units. This decline is explained by less arrivals from other countries (Romania), from transfers to other European countries (Spain, France and Germany) and largely from the transition from informal settlements to old unused industrial facilities. In a city with about 2.9 million inhabitants, Roma people in informal settlements account for only 0.03% of the Roma population.”

Bad – bad as an article, and bad in that that a minority of Romanian Roma seems to make the headlines. Especially since in Pittsburgh, there have been many Roma from Czechoslovakia who have and still live there since pre-World War One.
