Thread Name: BS: A shocking tale of blatant racism
Subject: RE: BS: A shocking tale of blatant racism
From what I understand, the gypsies of Romania were brought to Europe from Pakistan as slaves. When slavery ended, they were the victims of no less than 30 pogroms, including the Nazi extermination camps.
I thought the treatment of Blacks in North America was bad but Europeans seem to completely ignore the plight of their most oppressed people. In Romania the discrimation is especially hateful.
Its my hope that everyone will increase their awareness of the lack of human rights and force their governments to do something positive to end the suffering of Romanian Gypsies.
