A community of people (some travel, some don'
t) who live separately to mainstream society that share different traditions, morals and backgrounds. I am
sat in the an office now where there are three Gypsy girls who I manage on a day to day basis, I have spoken to them in depth comparing our lifestyles, values etc. I can honestly say that sone of the comments that come under this
definition are
disgusting and just show how ignorant and oblivious people can be. I do not know any
irish gypsies socannot speak for them but I'm sure their not as bad as everyone makes out either. So let's get the facts
straight.
1) Not all gypsies steal, I know a few who have respectable companies and earn a living just like everyone else (Well excluding the vast amount of non-gypsy people around the country who sit on their
arse claiming benefits being
lazy.
2) I am assuming a large majority of the posters are so under educated and do not follow crime statistics as theft and violence related crimes are carried out by women and
men of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
3) They are not dirty people, the ones I know are very clean, well mannered and spend their whole Sundays cleaning themselves. Also would like to add they own their properties and do not claim housing benefits as they are scared of working.
It is a form of
racism and is unacceptable. In a society in this day and age you think people would be open minded but obviously not!!! Ignorance is the first sign of stupidity.
