Subject: RE: Roma/Gypsy Book
Slovakian Roma, I have spoken with, say that they are treated badly, though, better than in surrounding countries, for example, Albanians treat them much worse, especialy in Kosovo, where they are victems of ethnic cleansing. However, even in the US, where among our large population of Roma, between one and two million, by some estimates, conditions are extrodinary. In the US there is indemic illiteracy and complete apathy on the part of governent agencies other than the police who are involved in Racial profiling on a scale that most people would find hard to believe. A small example is the most common police manual on policing Roma, it is called Gyspies Travellers and Theaves. Thank you Cher. My dee kos amay Larry
