Roma people- to be pitied or despised?

    Just wondering does anyone think there is a point to these "members of a marginalised ethnic group"?

    Is it just a stereotype that all they do is beg or steal or do some of them actually work?

    I know that in my area if they go into the local shop they are quickly chased out with a broom, as even the toddlers shoplift their own bodyweight in food.

    I'm sure some of them work and contribute to society. Alas the actions of the majority blacken the entire race.
    I know that in my area if they go into the local shop they are quickly chased out with a broom, as even the toddlers shoplift their own bodyweight in food.
    Again the actions of the majority etc...
    But business owners use the ethnicity of consumersas to access their potential to shoplift/cause trouble and the like, much like police use ethnicity as a means of identification.
    Again I'm not saying all Roma people are beggers and theives, but they certainely seem to live up to their less then desirable reputation.
