Roma people- to be pitied or despised?

slippy wicket

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.

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.
