An initiative calls for Canada to officially recognise the Roma Holocaust. Good, but we just wished they would not use the word “Porrajmos” …. Please let’s drop this one.

David Scheffel, a Thompson Rivers University Professor (close to Vancouver, Canada) has been arrested on charges of child pornography, sexual offences and even arm trafficking. He denies the charges claiming that they stem from his study of child prostitution among Roma in Slovakia. The professor is reputed to be an expert on Roma culture.

Police in Toronto has arrested a Czech refugee – possibly a Romni – who, according to the report may be a member of a ring of Roma purse snatchers.
Well, why is ethnicity an important factor in information about crime? Is there a difference between a Gadžo and a Rom purse snatcher? Not really – then why write it?

Roma asking for asylum in Ontario are increasingly being granted the right to stay. The success rate is now at 70%. The trend is the result of removing corrupt and inept lawyers from the process.

István Kamarás, a Hungarian Roma who fled to Canada and came back to the country, is advocating the idea of an autonomous Roma province in North Eastern Hungary. His main argument is the current corruption among the distribution of the EU funds for Roma and the inefficiency of Roma politicians in Budapest.
Still, this is a dangerous idea.

An interesting article about one of the founders of the Canadian Alt Right media movement. If you have any doubts about their views on Rroma, here is what he said:
“These are gypsies, a culture synonymous with swindlers.The phrase gypsy and cheater have been so interchangeable historically that the word has entered the English language as a verb: he gypped me. Gypsies are not a race. They’re a shiftless group of hobos. They rob people blind. Their chief economy is theft and begging. For centuries these roving highway gangs have mocked the law and robbed their way across Europe.”
You can be a member of a minority and be a racist …
