Really???

Published by:

It seems that Slovakia only sends Roma children for adoption abroad… This can definitively be qualified as state racism. The director of the Centre for International Children and Youth Protection Andrey Císarová, states that “international adoption is recommended by LEN children who have Roma ethnicity and are [thus] not interesting in Slovakia”.

Autonomous Hungarian Roma Province?

Published by:

István Kamarás, a Hungarian Roma who fled to Canada and came back to the country, is advocating the idea of an autonomous Roma province in North Eastern Hungary. His main argument is the current corruption among the distribution of the EU funds for Roma and the inefficiency of Roma politicians in Budapest.
Still, this is a dangerous idea.

Germany, Roma, and Sterotypes

Published by:

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.
