so, as a weird consequence of these kinda threads, all I know about romani and travelers is the "anecdotes" of europeans insisting they're not racist, while saying exactly the sort of thing people say after they've insisted their not racist. Are there any books or resources that give a better understanding? It's just kinda culture-shock to me that there are still people living nomadic (is that the right term?) lives on the other side of the Atlantic, when over here... well. I'd like to know more. How do modern cities and states accommodate them? And, more realistically it seems, how do cites and states fail to accommodate them?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

There are Romani people in so-called america too and the burgers that are aware of that or proximate to them are just as racist towards them as euros. Their incarceration rates are similar to other targeted groups you're more familiar with.
there are multiple comments in there essentially saying "uhm, all americans hate black people, so you're not allowed to call us racist! and we aren't racist anyway they deserve it!"
uhm, all americans hate black people
Speak for yourself, asshole.
.......what?
Sorry, it's a habit many of us have in this community, of responding to posts about assholes as though we're responding to the assholes themselves. I feel like that habit might be really confusing to newcomers and make them think we're weirdly hostile to people just posting normally.
oh, yeah, that's weird lol. but thanks for explaining it

I heard stories about how there are gypsies who take advantage of the refugees from Ukraine and Syria.
The inclusion of Syria here really goes to show how flexible their racism is. They might not like Syrians, but they'll sure as hell pretend they do for a moment if it lets them be racist against someone else.
How much do you bet this was made by a person who never interacted with them?
RACISM IS OKAY IF YOU SAW THEM BEFORE AND FELT UNCOMFORTABLE
