Well they are kind of offensive in their approach to begging.
I usually give to almost anyone but the gypsy children made me want to push them away physically.

Aren’t Gypsies anarchists?

Dear old (and I do mean old) Madge...trying sooo hard to stay ‘relevant.’

I know very little of the Gypsie/Roma struggles and/or prejudices. Suffice to say...quoting the great social arbitor of our time, Homer Simpson, ‘Celebrities, is there nothing they don’t know?’

She likes the concept, but doesn’t have to live with them. There’s a fine line between abusive prejudice of the majority and rational reaction to a foreign, somewhat predatory culture.

“Radu Motoc, an official with the Soros Foundation Romania, said Thursday.”

Laughable source IMO. Gypsies are notorious thieves, and Societal nuisances. They thrive on the dark side. I take no pity upon them.

underscores how prejudice against Gypsies remains deeply entrenched across Eastern Europe

Maybe it underscores how people who paid twelve times too much to hear Madonna's greatest hits of the late 80s don't want to waste a dime of their time listening to her opinions on Romania's historic ethnic strife.

Well, let’s see how long Madonna holds out for her latest “cause”—

Just visit Rome in the early summer some time. The gypsies are a plague, especially on public transit. They train all their children to be skilled pickpockets. You can spot the little vermin because each carries a towel over its arm, the better to hide its other hand while picking your pocket. The alleged “bias” against them is just as reasonable as a “bias” against flea infested plague rats.

Wow. I mean just... WOW! at some of these replies.

Gypsies are notorious thieves, and Societal nuisances. They thrive on the dark side. I take no pity upon them.

Let's see. If somebody had said "Jews are notorious thieves, and Societal nuisances. They thrive on the dark side. I take no pity upon them." it wouldn't have been acceptable.

I know... Maybe if they had said "Italians are notorious thieves, and Societal nuisances. They thrive on the dark side. I take no pity upon them.".... no ... still not good. What would make this appropriate. Hmmmmmmm.

More Roma were killed by percentage of ethnic group by the Nazis than Jews.

A Soros agency advocating for human rights. This is rich. George Soros sold out fellow Jews to the Nazis.

“Many do not have official identification, which means they cannot get social benefits, are undereducated and struggle to find decent jobs.”

Tell them to come here and just get in line!

“The group says Roma face “overt discrimination” in housing, health care and education.”

In Slovakia many gypsies get free apartments from the city council which they usually trash and have an “open toilet” in one corner of the room, they get free health care and education yet too often they fail to send their kids to school instead they send their kids to beg and steal on the streets. So where is the “overt discrimination?’

Weren’t the Gypsies in this country conmen/Grifters.

Aren’t they the ones who come to ask if I want my driveway *oiled* down?

I can’t stand those guys.
