Probably something like «rohadt cigány» if it's anything close to the kurwas in Hungary.
Ignorance and racism are not the same thing. There's overlap, but even if it can be hurtful, ignorance is not malicious.
Ignorance born of environment is understandable.
Ignorance born of anti-intellectualism is malicious.
For a good time, ask central Europeans about the romani
^ This. In my native Hungary, as much as we would all count as "white" to someone from an actually racially diverse country, people are still super racist against Romani people. Even allegedly progressive people.
Many Romani Americans keep their identity a secret due to harmful stereotypes from the media that depict >Roma as nomads, scammers, beggars and thieves.[50] 70% of Romani Americans hide their Romani identity to avoid stigmatization
That seems worse than in Europe
Never once heard of romani existing in the US, so that's believable. I mean in theory they must.
Gypsy Sisters existed (I didn't name the show sue TLC not me). We've got 'em, but if the other guy's number is correct at 1mil there's 6x less than Native Americans, and, when is the last time you've seen one of them either (depending on location)?
I quite literally don't even know how one would identify that ethnic group, but then I can't think of why I would need to either.
Like visually? Idk. I only have known when they told me.
1 million of them. Didn't GTA 4 revolve around Romani in US?
No that was just your cousin Roman who wants to go bowling. Niko himself is an ethnically Serbian Yugoslavian war vet.
Least favorite GTA game hands down, too. All hail Vice City and San Andreas.
What does "malicious" mean here? Structural racism often doesn't have ill intent from any individual people, and nevertheless still affects people's daily lives.
There's a kind of stubborn ignorance which is very malicious. It's how we got trump, in part.
Yeah that's called hate
Tbf some people in Africa don't know what racism is either. In some places white people are not that regular and some kids in the country side never even saw a white person, much less ever faced or understand the concept of racism. If you are somewhat isolated in a comunity you won't get it until you start watching more problematic Tv or movies. Maybe that's what this polish person said
I live in a big country, in a big city, and I don't get why racism is even a thing, imagine being isolated!?
When I was a kid we had so few POC in our schools; it was simply because there weren't many here yet. I had one black person in my grade school and three in my high school. It was just our population then, the area was mostly European immigrants back then. It has changed immensely now, and the racism against immigrants here is pretty vile.
Of course, some people in africa experience racism from other black people. It isn't all white v black, sometimes it's Hutu v Tutsi.
Ethnicity is not race btw.
Let's be real, it's a semantic difference when we're talking genocide.
Lots of people love to hate other people. Hate releases endorphins, and endorphins feel good. They just need a reason, it doesn't even have to be a good one.
"I really hate people who part their hair on the wrong side."
"Which side?"
"Whatever side that the people I hate use."
"WTF?"
