Breizh Again

Breizh-info produced yet another scandalous article with all stereotypes such as criminality, poverty, begging, etc., and full of generalizations. In addition, as the journalists mixes up travelers, Rroma, nomads, he shows his total lack of knowledge and his true intent: Showing Rroma as dirty, poor beggars and thieves.

A Survey in France …

A Survey in France …

A survey published last week in France is shocking the French. It is about racism, and included questions such as “if your daughter married a Muslim” or “have you ever had problems Rroma, etc.” Well, in this latter case, it seems that 27% of the French (Yes) have encountered problems with Rroma. That is more than one in 4 … We would doubt that one in four French has ever seen or met a Rrom … People were also shocked to find out that this survey was initiated by a Jewish organisation.

Switzerland … Oh well …

Published by:

One of the really least researched, most populist articles in the Swiss press in a long time. Low concentration of facts and logic, high populist overtones.

Not acceptable. And by the way, the results of the study (see second article) are not acceptable either.

PROTEST!
