Re: Reading article on that kid that got kidnapped by the romani

most people can tell them apart though, at least in my experience.

let's say you don't want to refer to it as racial discrimination. you see them dressed in their traditional clothes, as you say, and immediately paint them all as beggars. unfortunately a lot of that is true but my point is that their ethnic identity, expressed through their clothes, language, racial similarities, et cetera, make them distinctly romani. if you take away these things then you've stripped much of their ethnic identity. so you are basically saying that they can only be accepted, rather than hated and mistreated, if they are assimilated. that's definitely ethnic discrimination, even if you don't care to point out the racist undertones of it.

This I agree, but the same can be said about any white group, especially Southern and Eastern Europeans, which is why I disagree with it being called racism, because then you get to the point where we have dozens of "races" in Europe and the term looses all meaning. I also dislike how people always want to call racism, as if ethnic discrimination was somehow less bad.
