An Article on Rroma Holocaust

Published by:

The article is correct on the Holocaust and the persecution of Rroma in Germany by the Nazis, but on Rroma itself, the author has obviously no idea. He speaks of two main “tribes”, the Rroma and the Sinti for one. Please inform yourself prior to writing.

Bullsh*t

Published by:

The Gatestone institute wrote a piece on “no go zones” in Germany, and managed to pack a bunch of nasty and totally inacceptable stereotypes in the process… Totally beyonf the point. For example: “thousands of Bulgarians and Romanians (including Sinti and Roma “gypsies”) have flocked to Duisburg”, Sinti are locals, and the thousands are not there; “New migrants from Bulgaria and Romania are adding to the problems”, what problems, if not the ones of the journalist; this mixed with factual reporting such as “At night, Romanian residents dance on the streets, the sound system in the car supplies loud music” taken from the German Press.
Well, this article is full of stereotypes and is BAD!!!
