Jimmy Carr and Roma
The UK comedian said in a Netflix show:
“When people talk about the Holocaust, they talk about the tragedy and horror of 6 million Jewish lives being lost to the Nazi war machine. But they never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis.
“No one ever wants to talk about that, because no one ever wants to talk about the positives.”
He needs to be condemned for this. There have been numerous articles on this, all negative, even in newspapers not generally known for their support of Roma. See the list below for a full view of what has been written since yesterday afternoon!
