What do people think of gypsies/travellers?

I have gypsies in my family tree

I love it

But then, I never grew up where there was any prejudice against them because there aren't any where I live

A gypsy boy once came to discuss trading horses when I was staying on a farm in Finland

He was the most beautiful person I've ever seen

The only time a person's looks has taken my breath away

They are

sone cop lady said i was like a gypsy when i ran away from home as a teen i wore long dresses and had long hair back then lol

They get a bad rep where I'm from too. But largely varies with how clean they are too.

anyone can be like that

I don't single out the Roma particularly, but one third-generation settled gypsy with whom I worked, said most of the "travellers" now are not Romanies at all, but just drop-outs, and it is they who are the least law-abiding and most anti-social.

Met a few of them and they were quite decent people. different mentality of course but we got along just fine.
You can't judge anyone based on other's opinions

I always take as I find. There are some that have settled in a designated camp near my town and they have been no trouble. It's unfair to tar everyone in a social group with the same brush.

Have a few friends who are Romani and never had issues with them or any other travelers to be honest but I understand that others have. I don't care much for the antiziganist sentiment a lot of people have when it comes to them.
