France: Collective Discrimination

September 27, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

According to a report from Romeurope, a collective engaged in defending Rroma, France is systematically discriminating and segregating Rroma. They denounce the practices of the expulsions and the overall policy of the French government.

Well Done!!!

The Dog …

September 27, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

The story of the dog is still doing the rounds. The police is now investigating (at last), and the press still reports on it. What is missed by all, are that the statements of the person who snatched the dog are deliberately generalising and racist … Not all Rroma drug their dogs or eat their cats. As least I don’t.

Bulgarian Church: Moslems not Welcome

September 27, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

The Bulgarian church stated explicitely that Moslems were not welcome in Bulgaria. This allegedly to prevent an “invasion”. Well, Turks and Rroma from Bulgaria are also Moslems, and make around 13% of the population. Are they too unqwelcome? Let’s not forget that in the 80’s, Bulgaria expelled roughly 400’000 Turkish Moslems to Turkey (they went to settle in Cyprus – well done Bugaria). That is almost 5% of the Bulgarian population of that time.

Is this Christian?

Young Rroma are proud of their identity

September 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

During the second Rroma cultural festival in Dortmund, young Rroma took part in a round table aimed at reducing stereotypes. They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.

The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!
