Dianavan,

I appreciate your comments. I share your concerns about the plight of discriminated groups of people. I also concur with your statements for the need for 'Good government to care about all of its people".

In my previous post I was making the observation that some people of African descent discriminate against others because of skin color [see Ebbie's post for one example of this many faceted experience]

And I wondered if skin color or other types of internal discrimination occured in ethnic groups like the Romas.

I also was curious if there was some evidence that suggested that groups like the Romas and Dalits of India who are themselves discriminated against, looked down on other discriminated people.

If for instance, the Romas have a bias against African Americans,
I would still feel that they should not be the target of any governmental, institutional, or personal discrimination, but as an African American, that would make a difference in how I felt about that group.
