The paper warns senior citizens about the dangers of relatives  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timpersonators. It states that: \u201coffenders are mainly members of the Roma and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSinti. [&#8230;] This ethnic group is very ruthless, exploiting their victims often  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tup to the economic destruction of their existence.\u201d A concerned citizen filed a  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcomplaint for incitation of racial hatred. A spokesperson of the Austrian  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPeople&#8217;s Party Association apologized for the inadequate representation, but justified  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe statement by noting that the wording had been taken unedited from straight the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpolice. Sark\u00f6zi Andreas, Head of the Cultural Association of Austrian Roma,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdenounced the formulation as a \u201cstereotypical, racist and discriminatory\u201d (the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPress, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>The problem of this racist formulation, in addition to their obvious  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tincompatibility with Anti-Semitisms regulations, is that thousands of seniors  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treceive this calendar and are therefore influenced by this one-sided picture of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Rroma. The authors of the contributions for this \u00a0calendar are not named, but the calendar is issued under the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tjoint authorship of the Association of the Upper Austrian SAeniors, who thus  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbear the responsibility for the inappropriate statements (stone Lechner 2013).<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: white; \"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Die Presse (2013) Seniorenbund-Kalender: &#8216;Roma und Sinti sind skrupellos&#8217;.  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn: <em style=\"font-family: Arial; background-color: white; \">DiePresse.com<\/em> vom 18.4.2013.<\/li>\n<li>Steinlechner, Daniel (2013) Roma-Hetze bei \u00d6VP.
