It's also because we seem to be the only ones who talk about our racism.

Everywhere else it's just "fuck the gypsies" unapologetically.

I suspect it's not so much that you're the only ones who talk about racism, but more that you, as an American, don't hear a lot of other people talk about racism because racism works a bit differently in each country in the world. On the other hand, the rest of the world hears Americans talking about racism a lot because the rest of the world hears Americans talking about everything a lot because the major demographic of most English-speaking public forums on the internet is American, so we overhear it.

But no, it would be about as accurate for you to say the rest of the world unapologetically hates gypsies as it would for me to say that America is entirely populated by fat Southern rednecks.

I guess that's fair.

Thanks for the perspective!

But....so still like a lot, then?

Exactly. I would be hard pressed to find someone where I live who explicitly hates black people.

How far do people in Italy have to go to find someone who hates gypsies?

Eh. We do a really bad job with integration. Not necessarily intentionally, but pretty much everybody looks at integration poorly, even though it's by far the best way to stop all sorts of racial disparities.

But the gypsies honestly deserve it...

Having lived in both Canada and the US, I don't think this is true. America's history of embracing chattel slavery and segregation has led to a massive racial divide between White and Black Americans, similar to the one seen between White Canadians and First Nations people...Except that America also has that history with it's native peoples.

America's history makes discussions of race especially toxic (even though they are necessary). At least that's what I have seen first hand.

Did you just say in all seriousness that everyone but the USA are racists and no one talks about race. Come to Denmark (or scandinavia in general) and tell me that one more time. This is taking the "America is the center of the universe" to a whole nother level.

Right, because American's are always on the forefront of what other countries are talking about. They know all about how Europe deals with racism.

Yeah, Europe never talks about it's racism and tries to tackle it!

The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Thomas Hammarberg, has been an outspoken critic of antiziganism. In August 2008, Hammarberg noted that "today's rhetoric against the Roma is very similar to the one used by Nazis and fascists before the mass killings started in the thirties and forties. Once more, it is argued that the Roma are a threat to safety and public health. No distinction is made between a few criminals and the overwhelming majority of the Roma population. This is shameful and dangerous".[26]

On a governmental level of course there's an effort to reduce gypsy discrimination but in general the public don't give a shit and aren't interested enough to sustain a "conversation" on ethnic relations in the way Americans do between blacks and whites.

There is some effort to reduce racism against gypsies,but I least in the UK where I live at least 90% of the population believe it's justified and partake in it.
