AGAIN!!!!
This webpage and its author doesn’t miss a single opportunity to present Roma in a bad light. But smartly enough that there are always enough facts so as not to be really able to nail him for obvious racism.
Any idea on how to stop them?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The controversy that followed casting a white student in the role of Esmeralda in the play based on Victor Hugo’s novel on the Hunchback of Notre Dame has made it to the front page of major newspapers in the US. Several students of the high school which scheduled the play managed to have it cancelled, saying that casting a “white” student in the role of a Romni was racist or at least cultural appropriation. Reactions against them were really bad and of course, Breitbart also pitched in.
What does it have to do with Roma: Well, actually not much, as the only thing that links Roma to this controversy is the fact that they are depicted in a play … Let’s hope that they are not the un-intended victims of this controversy.

Nasty Web Page
Once again, an article from a rather biased webpage “EU Scoop”. It insists on “Gypsy Crime” and is effectively dangerous.
Seems to be a one man show, but nevertheless …

Half Truths
Yet another article that mixes a few facts with lots of fictions. Roma left India much earlier than a 1’000 years ago. And quite a few implied stereotypes.

Really?
Yet another example of what really doesn’t bring much benefits to anyone:
The Social Work Center Črnomelj has conducted a series of workshops for children and adolescents within the framework of the Roma Assistance Program for Socialization in the Multipurpose Roma Center. Four Fridays in a row, 17 different children spent the afternoons in the VNRC. The themes of the workshops were appropriate for the annual time, that is, the Christmas decoration and New Year themes.
What does this bring?

One Rotten Apple
Yet another illustration that one rotten apple is sufficient to drag us all down into stereotypes. This is the ongoing case of the Mafia in Ostia, the former Rome port on the Tiber, a Mafia where one of the main gang and bosses are Sinti.
