The arrival of some Romanian Roma in a neighbourhood of the central City of Magdeburg is escalating. “They” as the Roma are referred to, are accused of being noisy, dirty, throwing everything in the street etc. And one speaks of 1’200 people (about half of them from Romania) in a neighbourhood with more than 15’000 inhabitants. Not a real majority …
It highlights the danger of stereotypes and generalisations.
