Usual Clichés: Rroma Criminals

Published by:

Again an article in which the ethnic background seems more important than the criminal acts. We have always said that the ethnic origins of criminals is an irrelevant fact. Social background is the relevant factor. In article, the clients of young Rroma prostitutes are judged as well as the parents of the children.

Prostitution … Again

Published by:

A first article in the Swiss German press since the publication of a study on the bias of newspapers in that country against Rroma (See Rroma Foundation). This time, a Swiss man allegedly bought a young Czech Rromni from a Rrom in the Czech Republic for prostitution for the sum of 256 CHF. The whole thing flew off as the woman shouted while crossing the border and she was subsequently freed.

Sad story. But what we liked, it is the first time where such a story is brought without saying that this is “typical” or “culturally driven” for Rroma. It is a criminal deed that, unfortunately does exist. It is not a cultural trait of a minority. And we are happy that this is the way it was reported.
