How not to Report

Published by:

A report on pickpockets in Paris’ Disneyland seen through the eyes of Romanians. Quote: “Seven women and five men, most of whom are Roma people from Romania who were sending their children to steal from tourists’ pockets in the Disneyland Paris” This is rather amusing, as it seems that there are also non-Roma who are sending their children to steal …
Anyway, theft is not an ethnic characteristic.

Tory MP and Roma

Published by:

A new Tory MP for Moray, UK, is severely biased against travellers are Roma. He apologised for saying that dealing with travellers “would be a number one priority as prime minister” but continued to state that [roadside encampments] are a “blight on our community” and current laws and protections make it difficult to get “get rid of them”.
One can only wonder what he meant by “getting rid of them” …

Slovakia, Highways, Roma, and Unemployment Rate

Published by:

This is how not to make statistics … While correlating the unemployment rate and its decrease with the presence of highways, a small paragraph states:

“The most significant impact on the unemployment rate in the regions is the percentage of Roma. This is shown in each research or model. While in Western Slovakia, the Roma represent a low share of the total population, mostly up to 5% (according to the Atlas of the Roma communities), they are around 30% in the Gemer region, and in many other districts of Eastern Slovakia around 20%. We know from microdata that there is about 65% unemployment among Roma.”

Czech Government, Lety, and Roma

Published by:

Following the decision by the Czech government to buy the pig farm located on the site of the Roma concentration camp of Lety, the contract could be signed as early as next month.
This would close the chapter of Lety, but certainly not of the Holocaust in the Czech Republic where Roma were almost totally annihilated – essentially by the Czech themselves.
