Thread Name: A worrying circular from a folk club
Subject: RE: A worrying circular from a folk club
Without wishing to prolong the topic longer, I just want to say one thing. There seems to be a trend in humanity to look down on certain groups of people different from your group. These might be gypsies, or indeed Jews, Muslims or Christians. They might be immigrants or foreigners, or even a different colour from you. So you start to compile anecdotes of their bad/unsociable/ unacceptable behaviour, as they are somehow inferior to you, not conforming to your norms. This then seems to justify your treating them poorly, after all they are only gypsies....Jews....Romanians... etc.

All people should be treated equally and fairly, that's all I say.
