Can’t stand gypsies

I work in retail in the meat department and the Gypsy customers that come in the store are an absolute nightmare for me. They always want a special cut of meat usually expensive and later it is found in the damn cereal isle! Just wasteful. They always steal and extremely rude. When you go into a restaurant and there is a Gypsy family there their kids are misbehaved and throw shit on the floor. I am not a racist but damn I would love to have a meeting with one of them and ask why.

* UPDATE* I am not a racist. The group of Gypsies that live where I am from are extremely rude people. That is not speaking for all of them!

It is their culture. Stealing is part of it. Also the women are forced into marriages and motherhood from an early age and then they are also left to raise those kids while kids themselves married to other children . It is a mess. Not to say everyone converts into that lifestyle but it is mostly common to do so orelse you will be shamed by the community. And it is not racist. They need help. These girls ,and boys,need to be put into education and stay there. To be given more opportunities. It is sad really

@PepsiColaP yah I agree. I just don’t get why every single one has to steal. Why is it in their culture to piss people off
@JS1992 I have seen a few documentaries on this and from my understanding it is a case of growing up in that lifestyle and when this is a taught behaviour it would be extremely hard to break. Especially when from an early age they are home-schooled ,if one of the lucky ones that is, and basically kept away from the rest of the communities . And then there is all the prejudice against them which I suppose it is part of the reasons why they isolate themselves so much . It is all around sad ,especially for the children . There is no quality of life in that

Here is a good article explaining how they are often being kept back by both existing stereotypes that others hold, especially in a professional environment, and also their own culture. I think it is best to be understanding and try to help in our own way while taking under consideration what their circumstances may be. And I see a lot of people calling you racist,lol. It is not racist,this is a community of people that has their own idioms and ethics. Not all,again,but the majority. It is more racist to turn a blind eye to it and let the issues continue,out of fear of being called racist. smh

@PepsiColaP I take your point. But you miss the bit about educating yourself before making dumb ignorant statements. Do that and no one will call anyone a racist.
@vorian explain to me how I am ignorant

@PepsiColaP not you sorry.. the original poster.

@PepsiColaP Wow, thanks. And here you've been nice to my face all this time and I had no idea you were an antizyganist piece of shit.

@PepsiColaP oh no. this reads as intolerant towards a specific race. i know you don't mean that, right?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@tenente What do you expect, she's a fucking Albanian. She's from a nation that's basically nothing but the Soviet Union's toilet.
@BlueMetalChick lmao I am not Albanian. But nice try. And I am not nice to anyone I am merely honest. I am sorry you feel so strongly about my opinion but do go off and attack other races.

@BlueMetalChick pig spotted
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@PepsiColaP Well then you lied to me already, so that's nice.

I like how you skipped right over the part where you attacked an entire race of people. Not to mention you made up a bunch of shit too. We don't force people to get married. That's the shit you see in corny ass television serials. Neither do we marry children. That's Irish Travelers, not Roma.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Nanori You think I'm a narc?
@BlueMetalChick I grew up in Greece,I am well familiar with Roma People . Other than the fact that your entire personality is made up, what else are you ignorant about? I will link the exact documentary I watched. Good luck,you will need it

Nanori · F
@BlueMetalChick and you just gave us a really [i]nice[/i] demonstration of what their behavior is like, not that I'm gonna be basing their whole community on your intolerant behavior but nice try.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@PepsiColaP "Your entire personality is made up"
That's funny coming from someone who can't even be honest to their own husband.
@BlueMetalChick lmao. I like how everyone attacks me on a marriage that is only legally existent anymore. Just keep proving to me how ignorant you are, go on.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Nanori Tell me, if you do everything in your power to show people that you aren't like they expect you to be, if you go out of your way to be an example, and for twenty odd years you're still told to fuck off and die and that you were born as human garbage and you always will be that, would you continue to have any respect for that? If you're told you can't go to school because of your race, you can't hold a job because of it, that you are a thief, a liar, and a con artist, no matter what you do, wouldn't you do the same? I went to school, I graduated with a degree, I got a good job, I own a house, I pay my taxes. But everyone still told me I'm a dirty fucking pikey that shouldn't be allowed to live in this country. So, their behavior is justified, but mine is not? It's totally ok for everyone to shit on me no matter how hard I try to do the right thing, but when I shit on them in return, that reflects badly upon me?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@PepsiColaP Well you just made up a bunch of stuff about another group of people and you let it show that you lied to be about your own race in the past so that sure doesn't seem like I'm the ignorant one.

Like right here:
[quote] They need help. These girls ,and boys,need to be put into education and stay there.[/quote]
Well gee isn't that a novel idea. We're legally prohibited from attending public schools in a lot of countries in Europe so telling us to get an education isn't very helpful since we WANT to but can't.
@BlueMetalChick Did anyone tell you that you can fuck off like a piece of garbage? 'Girl' didn't you privately message me back in June to ask me if I wanted to buy stolen watches from you? What exactly are you trying to prove? I have treated you decently but your inability to lie is just hilarious
@BlueMetalChick Lmao. that is rich coming someone whose entire personality is made up. My race is Greek. I had family migrate to Albania during the war. They kept speaking Greek and taught their kids Greek too. And their kids migrated back home. I have family in Albania still,yes,and we have roots there now ,but that is not my race. Do not get confused. and do not assume. fucking idiot

@PepsiColaP [quote]Did anyone tell you that you can fuck off like a piece of garbage?[/quote]
Actually yeah, I was told that repeatedly when I was job hunting back in the day. I stole those watches because I was told over and over that I can't have a job. So, I stole something. What else do you expect me to do? Starve to death? Live at the fucking Salvation Army for the rest of my life?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@PepsiColaP Then you sure told me that in a roundabout fucking way when I asked you.

What's this shit my personality is "made up?" How does one make up a personality?
@BlueMetalChick Do not project onto me what a random idiot told you when you were job hunting. Keep that for the punching bag at home
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@PepsiColaP I wish it was just one random idiot but this occurred over and over in multiple countries. France especially but also Italy, Slovakia, Albania, and especially in fucking Bulgaria. Trash, garbage, scum, waste, subhuman, I was told I should be sold into slavery at one point even.
