Exhibition on Rroma Holocaust
An exhibition on the Holocaust of Rroma in Bohemia and other Czech lands is opening this week. Good one speaks about it, as the Czech lands were nearly totally cleaned of Rroma in World War Two. And not all by German Nazis, by far not.

Racial Unrest in Bulgaria
Three policemen were injured in Bulgaria when they intervened to disperse an anti Rroma riot that was sparked by an incident two days ago where four Rroma men were charged with attempted murder on three non Rroma Bulgarians.
Bad …

Switzerland Travelers and “Foreign” Rroma
Switzerland loves it complicated… They want segregated camping places for local travelers – Yenische – and for Rroma – usually denotes as “Foreign” even though there are Rroma travelers in Switzerland.
In Western Switzerland, the state is expulsing “foreign Gypsies”.
BAD!

Esma Redžepova wins against Borat
For those of you who did not yet know … The Macedonian Rroma singer went to court and did indeed win against Borat for the misuse of one of her greatest hit Čaje šukarije… She is on tour in Oakland. Go and see here .

Sweden: Police allowed to keep a register of Rroma
This is bad, the last time it was done in earnest, there was an Austrian Corporal fuming against all minorities, with the consequences one knows.

Bulgaria, Rroma, and Burkas
The central Bulgarian town of Pazardzhik is banning for the full veil being worn by some Rroma women. This is bad, but actually what is worse is that even under the Ottomans, Rroma never ever wore the veil … Fanaticism is doing headways. Dangerous.

Police Harassment in Slovakia: Back to Court
The case of the police harassment of Rroma boys in Kosice is returning to court. Basically, all police officers are whitewashed. This is true racism.

Dumb and Dumber … UK Press
Another of these articles that feed on stereotypes. Kings, barons, mansions (well…), all stereotypes are here. Is it reality or is it something else? Besides the taste to be discussed, the view here is that all these Rroma did their money illegally on the back of the UK (or European, or else) taxpayer. Wrong… They worked!
