Even in Death …

Published by:

A young Roma girl dies. The family asks the priest to celebrate a mass for the girl. He refuses – allegedly because the girl was baptised by a Uniat priest (the Ukrainian Orthodox church).
No empathy and probably a good dose of racism.

“Ausländer”

Published by:

To the point: In German, one should not use the concept of “Ausländerfeindlichkeit” – which can be translated by Xenophobia – but connotes more the hate of foreigners, but rather state that this is outright racism as there are very few chances if any that a blond Dane or Swede be confronted to it.
If you are Rom, black, or non Northern European, then things get more difficult.

Roma in Europe

Published by:

A reportage on Ukrainian media in Slovakia – in Košice in the Lunik IX neighbourhood – and a reflection of Roma in Europe. What is positive is that they say that the integration of Roma is more of a problem of the majority than of the Roma. What is less so is that they say idiocies (that Roma lived in tent prior to the creation of the “vertical” ghettoes) and that they push a whole series of stereotypes.

Switzerland: Lost …

Published by:

A judge in Fribourg (Switzerland) dismissed the complaint against racism that was lodged against 5 professional associations (three from Fribourg, two overall from Switzerland) who had advertised last year in the papers against giving work to Travellers and Roma. In these pamphlets, travellers and Roma were accused of shoddy work and practises, if not of outright fraud.
This highlights the difficulty in Switzerland to win such cases.

Bosnia: Racism

Published by:

A really shocking article from Bosnia. Residents from Mostar are protesting because “many” Roma are coming to Mostar, are stealing, sexually harassing women, burning tires, and generally attacking inhabitants.
Well … Let’s not forget that these brave Bosnians were all in agreement to ethnically cleanse Roma out of their respective regions. As a result, they effectively deprived most Roma of their homes and of a living.
