The story of a boy allegedly kidnapped 16 years ago by Rroma in Russia who was found recently. The kid was certainly living with Rroma, the abduction remains conjecture (and is still a common stereotype).
An article in Watson pokes fun at the media fascination in Switzerland with the Rroma wedding near Zurich. Noting that where does Switzerland goes if Farmers do what they want with their land, but also noting that 20 Minutes said that as the population was on holidays, there were concern about potential thefts, clearly equating Rroma with thieves.
Let’s challenge these idiotic stereotypes!
Again, a stereotype: Police questions a Rroma family over the disappearance in 1991 (YES!) of a boy.
Please get it right, either Rroma steal babies, or they have too many of them. Make up your mind but stop this garbage.
Belgium’s federal centre for equality of chances is organising meetings between the media and Rroma representatives to combat negative stereotypes in the press and to further a Rroma voice in the articles. They note that only two out 74 articles allowed Rroma to present their point of view.
About time…
