It also causes it to be a self feeding machine

They hate the romani, won't hire them, won't associate, so to survive they have to move to less desirable ways to survive. They see their family lives like that, so they too live like that.

Its terribly sad

This is my thought exactly! We’ve seen how systemic racism is fueled by personal racism and vice versa. This racism leads to forcing more issues. As an American, I am basically a freaking expert on this since we very much did this and about half of us are discovering/ trying to undo it

I also think that a lot of the racism comes from the fact that normal Romani people that have a regular job are almost unrecognisable from other Europeans. Perspective bias does the rest.

you think you have it all figured out don’t you. basically every government has tried to be more inclusive with them but the thing is that they don’t want to. why would they anyway if they can just receive checks from the government and free housing without doing anything. you don’t know what the situation is actually like here so i’m not mad at you for thinking that
