In the northern part of Bucharest, there are several small towns populated by Gypsies...
Gypsies is actually a term with discriminatory undertones; the proper term should be 'Romani'.
Their position in Europe is awkward; 80% of Gypsies live below the poverty line, and they are often labeled as 'thieves' and 'swindlers', leading to their expulsion.
In Europe, wherever there is a tourist area, if a theft occurs, the police often attribute the crime to the Gypsies...
Of course, there are indeed many thieves among them...
Gypsies want to preserve the independence of their nomadic culture while also addressing the demands of settled life in modern European nations, which has led to conflicts with various European countries.
It's hard to imagine, and those public intellectuals won't publicize this everywhere; even now, some European countries' schools still implement racial segregation policies against Gypsies, leading to a dropout rate of 60% among Romani children.
