They didn't say there is very little anti-romani racism, they said they didn't encounter it in their daily life very often. That's generally how it works, you don't tend to run into racism as often when you're not the target.
Quite right. I don't run into a lot of anti-aboriginal racism in Australia, but boy howdy does it exist.
And I do run into some. Had an operation at a hospital once and shared a room post-op with a guy who was a cheery companion for a little while then started spewing the most ridiculous shit about First Nations people I'd heard outside a One Nation forum.
I then calmly asked him to explain every point and dissected his bullshit like a faeces expert studying a coprolite. Really bothered him. Hehehe.
