"Gypsies=thieves, liars, con artists, filthy, ugly
They will still your money, your property, they'll break into your house and, usually, they do not speak well the language of the country they happen to live in (plunder)."
Oh, PLEASE, not that old hat again! I know many Gypsies, and I also know many non-Gypsies, and I have to say that of the two, the Romanies are by far the most honest, kind-hearted and well-mannered people I have come across. It's certainly not the Romany kids hanging on street corners smoking weed, drinking vodka and mugging people of an evening in my town. The Romany kids are at home with their families, helping their parents and looking after younger children. It's the Gypsy kids who hold shop doors open for old ladies, instead screaming obscenities, or even mugging them, like so many non-Gypsy kids do.
Please don't pander to racist sterotypes - it's terribly ignorant, frustrating for those of us intelligent enough to see through them, and incredibly hurtful for the innocent people who have to put up with racist abuse (including attacks) on a daily basis.
Where did you have the opportunity to meet real gypsies in America?
