White racists used to say, and I guess still do say, that blacks are all thieves, based upon their disproportionate participation in crime.
Of course, Blacks are not thieves. They traditionally suffered from a lack of opportunity, and, later, from the breakdown of the family caused by LBJ.
In the case of the Gypsies, though, is it not correct that in fact stealing is the culture? That parents and grandparents alike are thieves, and hope to raise good little thieves? That is, that they raise their kids to steal as much as others hope for their children to be doctors or lawyers?
Please, I am not stating that as fact. But, I have read quite a bit which suggests it is true.
I am not a racist but I will freely admit to being a "culturalist". It's not their genes that make Gypsies a pest. It is their parasitic culture.
While in Spain, the Gypsy beggars, whether they were 70 year old women or 8 year old boys or 25 year old able-bodied men would approach you and start begging for money in the most pathetic and whining voice. No matter where you went in Spain or how old the beggar was, it was always the same pathetic whine.
Although I am fluent in Spanish and my Cuban accent would result in puzzled Spaniards asking me what Spanish province I was from, when I had to deal with Gypsies, I pretended to be somebody from Idaho that did not know a word of Spanish. The Gypsy would then take their act to the Spaniards at the table next to us.
